NCAA investigating Boise State for athletic violations, lack of institutional control

Statesman staff - Idaho Statesman

Published: 05/02/11

Boise State responded Monday night to the NCAA regarding rule violations in football, men’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, and a major violation in women’s tennis. The combination of several secondary violations and the major one has led the NCAA to allege a lack of institutional control within Boise State athletics.

An NCAA inquiry contained 22 allegations from 2005-2010 and asked for additional information from the university pertaining to each, according to a Boise State press release. The university formally responded April 25, and the NCAA Committee on Infractions will review the response June 10. A final NCAA report is expected to take several more months.

“I am confident we have responded thoroughly to the NCAA. Our internal review was comprehensive and our response was very detailed. We will continue to provide our full cooperation,” Boise State president Bob Kustra said

“We are deeply committed to following all NCAA rules and to ensuring that our athletic department works diligently so that our procedures reflect the highest standard. I am disappointed that we face these allegations. It is unacceptable, and the athletic department staff understand and agree with my position.”

Said athletic director Gene Bleymaier: “Complying with NCAA rules is fundamental to who we are and how we do things at Boise State. We have addressed the issues and are working with the NCAA to bring this to a close.”

According to the Boise State release:

Boise State began an internal investigation in March 2009 at the request of the NCAA. Through May 2010, Boise State responded to the inquiry and self-reported some undiscovered secondary infractions in preparation for a summary disposition in which the university, NCAA enforcement staff and involved individuals agreed on the violations.

However, a new, serious violation in women’s tennis occurred in October 2010. Boise State removed those coaches in November. As a result of the new violation, the NCAA decided that the case would now be sent to the Committee on Infractions rather than the agreed upon summary disposition for less severe cases.

The majority of allegations involve impermissible housing, transportation or meals, where an incoming student-athlete was provided a place to sleep (often on a couch or floor), a car ride or was provided free food by an existing student-athlete.

In football, the NCAA determined that total dollar value over five years was $4,934 for all of the housing, transportation and meals provided to 63 incoming student-athletes. All services ranged from $2.34 to a maximum of $417.55 and have been reimbursed by the student-athletes. In tennis and track and field, the NCAA determined that 16 student-athletes had received extra benefits over the five years equaling a $718 value. Other small dollar excess benefits are also alleged in the notice. All these funds were reimbursed as well and all were donated to charity.

Additional allegations of NCAA violations include:

- From 2005-2008, track and field coaches conducted impermissible practice sessions for five international incoming student-athletes prior to enrollment.

In 2010, women’s tennis coaches provided an incoming student-athlete with impermissible educational expenses and entertainment, conducted impermissible practice sessions and permitted the athlete to compete prior to enrollment.

Boise State already has implemented several changes to avoid future violations, including the hiring of additional compliance staff, updating policies in its athletics compliance manual, increasing rules education and improving compliance documentation, as well as transferring compliance responsibility and oversight from the athletic department to the President’s Office through the General Counsel.

Lots of people are joking/pissed about this. The NCAA can spend time trying to convict Boise over this, but sits on its hands over far more heinous issues. The one in need of an investigation is the NCAA.

Boise State have given themselves self-imposed penalties. The NCAA can either accept the self-imposed penalties or, add too it.

Let me get this straight...
-Ohio State's Terrell Pryor can by a car worth $17k for $11, drive around in many loaner cars? I'm not even going to get into the Tattoo situation and the other stuff that ben going around for do long that Maurice Clarrett, of all people was trying to tell everyone.
-Cam Newton's father was offering his son up to the highest bidder but Cam was allowed to play because he didn't know?

But the NCAA is going to go BA DASS on Boise St because incoming players slept on the floor until their rooms were ready? Because the only way the NCAA can make an example out of Boise is to lump football with WOMEN'S TENNIS? And the measely $4934, compared to what the MONEY MAKERS got, were reimbursed and donated to charity?

WHAT A JOKE??? I knew a Mid Major was going to pay for what Cam Newton and Ohio State players did. But this is like Boise's head on a silver platter, smh!!!

DAMM... So I guess pizza and sleeping on the floor by a Mid Major is more heinous than Tattoo-Gate and Loaner Cars involving one of the BigBoys, SMMFH!!!

NCAA tells Ohio State it finds no new violations; won't face 'failure to monitor' charge
Friday, July 22, 2011 04:00 PM
By Randy Ludlow and Encarnacion Pyle
The Columbus Dispatch


The NCAA has notified Ohio State University that it will not face charges of failing to appropriately monitor its football team as part of a memorabilia-sales scandal that brought down former Coach Jim Tressel.

The NCAA has not uncovered any new, unreported violations during its investigation and agrees with Ohio State that Tressel was the only university official aware of violations by his players and that he failed to report them.

"Other than (two redacted player names) and (Ted) Sarniak, there is no indication that Tressel provided or discussed the information he received ... with anyone else, particularly athletics administrators," the NCAA reported in an enforcement staff case summary.

In the summary that was delivered to Ohio State yesterday and released today, the NCAA again stresses that Tressel failed in his duty to report the violations and knowingly fielded at least two ineligible players.

The NCAA will not hammer Ohio State with its worst-possible findings of loss of institutional control or failure to monitor, which would bring significant punishment.

"Considering the institution's rules education and monitoring efforts, the enforcement staff did not believe a failure to monitor charge was appropriate in this case," the NCAA informed Ohio State.

The NCAA also reported that it investigated a Sports Illustrated report that identified nine additional players as selling OSU memorabilia to tattoo-parlor owner Edward Rife and interviewed the athletes, but confirmed only one as dealing with the man who is soon to be sentenced on marijuana-trafficking charges...

***STORY CONTINUES***
