Cincinnati Reports Phone Log Violations

Cincinnati Reports Recruiting Violations to NCAA

The University of Cincinnati has self-reported excessive phone calls to the NCAA.  The excessive phone calls occurred over the period of approximately a year and were limited to the Football and Women's Basketball staff.  The violations were reported through a process called the Summary Disposition process, where the school works cooperatively with the NCAA Enforcement staff to agree upon the facts of the case.  This process is beneficial because it keeps the violations private and out of the news until the process is resolved; the downside of the summary disposition process is that the institution loses the opportunity to appeal the sanctions.  However, it is typically a moot point for schools choosing this method because they are working so closely with the Enforcement Staff.
