For over 25 years, Rick Allen worked on two major college campuses specializing in NCAA compliance: the University of Illinois from 1981-1997 and at Oklahoma State University from 1997 to 2006.  Through an affiliation with Oliver & Lindemenn Athletic Consulting, he continues to consult with athletic departments of NAIA and NCAA member institutions throughout the United States.
