The NCAA and Indiana University of Pennsylvania have resolved an infractions case stemming from violations in the Division II university’s men’s basketball and men’s and women’s swimming programs.

Among the penalties the NCAA has imposed is a two-year probationary period for the university and a reduction in the number of scholarships on the three athletics teams.

The university has been “fully cooperative” in the NCAA investigation, and is strengthening its oversight to ensure compliance with NCAA regulations, the university’s president, Tony Atwater, said in a written statement.

The NCAA’s Division II Committee on Infractions found that the university’s former head swimming coach improperly hired an athlete and arranged for her to be paid for work she did not perform at a rate far greater than that paid to other students employed on the campus, the NCAA said. The coach also permitted two ineligible swimmers to compete in a swim meet in October 2005.

The former head coach of the men’s basketball team engaged in “unethical conduct” in an attempt to “stretch” his scholarship dollars, the NCAA said, by having 14 prospective students complete their admission applications with Pennsylvania addresses to qualify for in-state tuition.

The coach also arranged for textbooks for two athletes to be paid for using his account at the campus bookstore. —Libby Sander
