Texas Southern Is Penalized By the N.C.A.A.

OCTOBER 9, 2012
The N.C.A.A. on Tuesday cited Texas Southern for “a lack of institutional control” over its athletics programs, laying a list of violations that included 129 athletes in 13 sports competing while ineligible over seven years.
In announcing penalties against the university, which included five years probation and postseason bans of two seasons for the football team and one for men’s basketball, the N.C.A.A.’s Division I Committee on Infractions released a 34-page report detailing the violations. Beyond Texas Southern’s use of ineligible athletes, the N.C.A.A. also cited academic improprieties, exceeding scholarship limits and a booster’s being involved in recruiting. In one example, the N.C.A.A. said, a football booster bought a plane ticket for a recruit’s girlfriend through an acquaintance of the coach at the time. The N.C.A.A. found that football coaches had encouraged such contact.
In another, the football and men’s basketball coaches, who are no longer in those positions, arranged to have two basketball players receive football scholarships to skirt scholarships limits imposed on the basketball team.
Texas Southern said in a statement that, although the penalties were “significant, the university is in full agreement” with the N.C.A.A. Athletic Director Charles McClelland, called it a “new era in T.S.U. athletics,” saying the concerns raised in the report “have been addressed and corrected.”
