Boise State proposes sanctions by The Sports Network
Boise, ID (Sports Network) – A three-year probation period is part of Boise State’s proposed self-imposed sanctions for NCAA rules violations, which the school released Wednesday.
The proposed sanctions affect football, along with men’s tennis, women’s tennis, and track and field. A total of 22 alleged violations in all those sports — including one major violation in women’s tennis — led the NCAA to charge Boise State with lack of institutional control.
The school, which responded to the charges Monday, is required to attend a hearing with the NCAA infractions committee June 10. The governing body’s final report is expected to be released several months after that.
But Wednesday, Boise State released a number of proposed self-imposed sanctions, which the NCAA can accept or reject in lieu of stiffer penalties.
Along with the three years of probation, Boise State proposed cutting three one-year scholarships in football between the 2011 and 2012 seasons. It also suggested removing three practices before the first games of both those years.
The school proposed the heaviest penalties for women’s tennis, suggesting a vacation of all wins and records for matches in which ineligible athletes competed in 2008-09. It also proposed a $5,000 fine and reduction of scholarships and practice hours.
Proposed penalties for track and field and men’s tennis center around reduction of practice hours, practices, official visits and recruiting opportunities. The school also suggested a public reprimand and censure, as well as continuing enhancements of rules education and compliance monitoring.
Most of the 22 allegations are minor, and revolve around transportation, housing and meals.
The NCAA said that in the summers of 2005-09, assistant football coaches and staff arranged housing and transportation in Boise for 63 prospective student- athletes, and the benefits added up to $4,934.
The NCAA also alleged that between 2005-09, 16 prospective student-athletes in the other sports — men’s and women’s tennis, and track and field/cross country — received $718.26 worth of benefits.
Some of the secondary violations were self-reported after Boise State began an investigation in March 2009 at the NCAA’s request. The school was set to settle the matter in a summary disposition, which would have essentially treated the other infractions as unintentional.
But just days before the disposition, the school discovered a more serious violation that resulted in the NCAA’s major violation charge.
The NCAA charged the head women’s tennis coach and assistant coach with providing a prospective student-athlete with “impermissible transportation, cash, lodging, educational expenses and entertainment” in 2010.
The NCAA also said both coaches conducted illegal practice sessions with the prospect and allowed her to compete before she was enrolled. Boise State self- reported the violation and fired the coaches in November.
That allegation is on top of one that accused Boise State of allowing a women’s tennis player to practice and compete in 2008-09, after her fourth season of competition.
