VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY PLACED ON PROBATION FOR Violating recruiting regulations IN MEN'S BASKETBALL
The National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I Committee on Infractions has put the Villanova University on probation for 2 years for violations of NCAA rules governing recruiting, extra benefits and impermissible contact, primarily in it's men's basketball program.
The case revolved around a number of recruiting and extra benefit violations that occurred over a 2 year period from fall 2001 to Mar. 2003. Although the violations might have been looked on as secondary if considered on an individual basis, the committee concluded that, "taken together, the violations caused this case to rise to the level of 'major' in nature." The NCAA committee disagreed with the school's assertion that the violations were unintentional, inadvertent and provided no more than a small recruiting advantage, a characterization that could have resulted in a finding that the violations were secondary in nature. Instead, the committee concluded that "this case reflected a men's basketball staff that pushed the limits with respect to certain aspects of the recruiting legislation, particularly while recruiting 'top players. In some cases, those bounds were exceeded and recruiting violations happened." |

The committee found that, during an official visit of a prospect in October 2001, members of the college's men's basketball coaching staff arranged contact, or failed to take proper steps to prevent contact, between representatives of the university's athletics interests and the prospective athlete. The committee also found that the school publicized the prospect's visit to the college campus and also arranged contact between the prospect and an NBA team's head coach-at the NBA team's practice facility-all in violation of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules. The committee also noted that, "although these were not egregious violations in the relative sense, they were, when viewed in total very significant and represented an attempt to gain a recruiting advantage." |
