Boise State, you better get your institution under control…
The National Collegiate Athletic Association has charged Boise State with a major violation and a lack of institutional control after the university reported a host of secondary violations across five sports dating to 2005 and an alleged major violation by the former women’s tennis coach in 2010.
The majority of secondary violations involve impermissible housing, transportation and meals for incoming student-athletes in the days and weeks before school started, Boise State said.
All told, 79 student-athletes received improper services totaling $5,652. Of them, 63 were football players for $4,934. All of the money has been reimbursed and donated to charity. Another five international track and field athletes participated in improper practices from 2005 to 2008.
I’m sure the NCAA will now attempt to throw the death penalty at them since they aren’t Auburn or Ohio State…
