Lack of Institutional Control....uh oh...
NCAA investigating Boise State for athletic violations, lack of institutional control

* Read the summary of the NCAA inquiry
Boise State responded Monday night to the NCAA regarding rule violations in football, men’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, and a major violation in women’s tennis. The combination of several secondary violations and the major one has led the NCAA to allege a lack of institutional control within Boise State athletics.
An NCAA inquiry contained 22 allegations from 2005-2010 and asked for additional information from the university pertaining to each, according to a Boise State press release. The university formally responded April 25, and the NCAA Committee on Infractions will review the response June 10. A final NCAA report is expected to take several more months.
“I am confident we have responded thoroughly to the NCAA. Our internal review was comprehensive and our response was very detailed. We will continue to provide our full cooperation,†Boise State president Bob Kustra said
“We are deeply committed to following all NCAA rules and to ensuring that our athletic department works diligently so that our procedures reflect the highest standard. I am disappointed that we face these allegations. It is unacceptable, and the athletic department staff understand and agree with my position.â€
Said athletic director Gene Bleymaier: “Complying with NCAA rules is fundamental to who we are and how we do things at Boise State. We have addressed the issues and are working with the NCAA to bring this to a close.â€
According to the Boise State release:
Boise State began an internal investigation in March 2009 at the request of the NCAA. Through May 2010, Boise State responded to the inquiry and self-reported some undiscovered secondary infractions in preparation for a summary disposition in which the university, NCAA enforcement staff and involved individuals agreed on the violations.
However, a new, serious violation in women’s tennis occurred in October 2010. Boise State removed those coaches in November. As a result of the new violation, the NCAA decided that the case would now be sent to the Committee on Infractions rather than the agreed upon summary disposition for less severe cases.
The majority of allegations involve impermissible housing, transportation or meals, where an incoming student-athlete was provided a place to sleep (often on a couch or floor), a car ride or was provided free food by an existing student-athlete.
In football, the NCAA determined that total dollar value over five years was $4,934 for all of the housing, transportation and meals provided to 63 incoming student-athletes. All services ranged from $2.34 to a maximum of $417.55 and have been reimbursed by the student-athletes. In tennis and track and field, the NCAA determined that 16 student-athletes had received extra benefits over the five years equaling a $718 value. Other small dollar excess benefits are also alleged in the notice. All these funds were reimbursed as well and all were donated to charity.
Additional allegations of NCAA violations include:
- From 2005-2008, track and field coaches conducted impermissible practice sessions for five international incoming student-athletes prior to enrollment.
In 2010, women’s tennis coaches provided an incoming student-athlete with impermissible educational expenses and entertainment, conducted impermissible practice sessions and permitted the athlete to compete prior to enrollment.
Boise State already has implemented several changes to avoid future violations, including the hiring of additional compliance staff, updating policies in its athletics compliance manual, increasing rules education and improving compliance documentation, as well as transferring compliance responsibility and oversight from the athletic department to the President’s Office through the General Counsel.

Exactly, Mr. Schad.
According to one poster on Scout (after reviewing the relatively minor violations): Damn, BSU even cheats like a mid-major.

Yes, and we have the tapes to prove that Cam was breathing in the background during the phone call.

Lack of institutional control because you found less than $6K in improper benefits....like a couch to sleep on or a $2.34 Happy Meal...paid out to probably 100 student athletes over a 5 year period.
Screw the NCAA

The NCAA is a bunch of punks.
"Kid had no where to stay so I put him up on the couch and then gave him some ice cream."

What else do you expect from an organization that claims to be non profit but yet pays it's President over 1.5 mil a year and then goes after kids for getting free happy meals.

The guy who owns the gym I workout at has a son who plays basketball for Troy. We were talking about this kind of stuff the other day and he was talking about how careful he has to be when his son brings home a couple of his teammates for a visit. He talks about how careful he has to be not to offer them anything or take them all out to dinner. He's scared to give them a bottle of water for fear it might bring the wrath of the almighty NCAA. Just stupid.

That averages out to $78.32 per player.
I say nothing less than the death penalty for this rougue program. Where is Bryant Gumball and the HBO cameras?

Once again, the NCAA moves on evidence.
