There is a lot of confusion out there when it comes to the hiring process. For example, there is no NCAA rule concerning interviewing a monority candidate.
"Does the NCAA have anything like the NFLs Rooney Rule? The Rooney Rule is a National Football League policy requiring teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching positions. Legally, the NCAA cant adopt such a rule. The NFL is a for-profit business that is legally able to draft and enforce such policies. In contrast, the NCAA is a non-profit and voluntary member association which cant influence individual campus hiring practices. However, in early 2008, Division I athletics directors recognized the problem and adopted hiring guidelines similar to the Rooney Rule. While voluntary, peer pressure plays a major role in ensuring schools comply with these guidelines. The main focus, however, should be getting minority coaches hired, not just interviewed."
From where does the 3 candidtate policy originate?
