Why Choose Athlete Defender?

Jason Setchen, founder of Athlete Defender, is widely regarded as a leading attorney in NCAA-related enforcement and legal matters.

For over a decade, Jason has represented numerous high-profile student-athletes, coaches, and administrators in some of the most complex and sensitive NCAA enforcement cases nationwide. His understanding of NCAA procedure and strategy is unmatched.


NCAA Enforcement Experience

Jason’s years of experience have provided him with a deep understanding of the NCAA enforcement process and how institutional compliance and NCAA enforcement personnel conduct the enforcement process.

Whether the issue involves allegations of purported compliance violations, alleged recruiting violations, improper NIL activities, eligibility issues, impermissible benefits, academic dishonesty, or unethical conduct, Jason and Athlete Defender have the experience to guide clients with confidence and clarity.

Your Rights Come First

NCAA interviews are not informal conversations – many times, they are part of an investigative process that can carry serious consequences, and information obtained can be used against you in an administrative infraction action.

Thus, you should take every step to ensure that your rights are protected from the first contact by compliance or the NCAA that an inquiry is taking place.

Athlete Defender ensures that clients are independently represented and treated fairly during all phases of any enforcement inquiry.


Independent, Unconflicted Representation

University lawyers and school compliance personnel work for the university, not for you.

When your interests diverge from the school’s priorities, you need independent representation. Athlete Defender is the one advocate in the room who is solely committed to your best interests, focused on your reputation, and ultimately on your future.

Strategic Advocacy from Start to Finish

From early-stage enforcement processes to interviews through hearings and appeals, Athlete Defender will provide you with a comprehensive legal strategy designed to protect your best interests.

Athlete Defender will negotiate directly with your institution and/or the NCAA, prepare detailed responses, and – when necessary – fight for favorable outcomes through the negotiated resolution or hearing process.


Your Eligibility, Career, and Reputation Are on the Line

Institutional and NCAA enforcement actions can result in expulsions, suspensions, loss of eligibility, employment bans, and vacated records, all of which may cause irreparable damage to your reputation.

With so much at stake, you need an attorney with extensive experience and knowledge in the enforcement process to ensure that your rights are protected at all phases.

About Athlete Defender
