INDIANAPOLIS – The NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee has upheld the appealed penalties for Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The university appealed the scholarship reductions in women’s volleyball and men’s tennis, as well as a postseason ban for men’s tennis.
In March 2009, the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions issued an infractions report that included findings of major violations in the women’s volleyball, men’s tennis and men’s basketball programs. The case included findings of ineligible participation, receipt of recruiting inducements, impermissible recruiting phone calls, failure to report NCAA violations, lack of institutional control, as well as findings of unethical conduct against the former athletics director and former compliance director.
Penalties in the case included four years probation, postseason bans, scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions and vacation of records.

Poll

The Corpus Christi City Council has voted to negotiate with the National Swim Center to replace the Coliseum. Do you agree?

  • Yes.
  • No. Just demolish the building.
  • No. Rennovate it and use as a public venue, as it has been.
  • I liked the Brass/Ice Skating Rink idea.
