NCAA Independent Resolution Panel
As a result of the NCAA’s investigation into alleged violations in the men’s basketball program, the panel accepted the university's self-imposed punishment that included a fine and reduction in scholarships for the 2021-22 academic year. Additional punishments were imposed by the panel that included vacating the record for the 2016-17 season, an additional scholarship reduction, a one-year probation, a four-week recruiting communications ban and an additional fine.
