INDIANAPOLIS---The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions has penalized the University of New Hampshire for recruiting violations in its men’s ice hockey program. The case involves 923 impermissible e-mail messages sent from the associate head coach to 30 prospective student-athletes. Penalties in this case include two years probation and multiple recruiting restrictions.

This case was resolved through the summary disposition process, a cooperative effort where the involved parties submit the case to the Committee on Infractions in written form. When the NCAA enforcement staff, the university and involved individuals agree to the facts of the case and penalties proposed by the university, they may use this process instead of a formal hearing.

Following the review of the summary disposition report, the committee concluded that the case called for recruiting-related sanctions beyond what the university had originally proposed. In late April, the committee and the university reached an agreement with regard to these additional recruiting sanctions.

Sounds like the NCAA is out of control again.

Yeah, I would have to agree with you.

Does anyone know if the Coach got fired? Even if it was a mistake, he blew the chance for UNH to sign 30 prospects. That could be huge.

No, but I did read in one of the articles that his compensation was reduced and his performance bonus for last year was revoked.
