Baylor fined by NCAA, ruled to have committed recruiting violations

The NCAA accepted Baylor's self-imposed sanctions for violations involving offensive coordinator Kendal Briles and assistant coaches Tate Wallis and Jeff Lebby, the organization ruled Wednesday.

The NCAA fined Baylor $5,000 but will not issue additional penalties.

According to the NCAA release, Briles and Wallis tried to find loophole in the rules that allowed them to see more prospects in the spring. This involved attending a recruit's track meet and turning their backs when the recruit competed so it did not count as an official evaluation.

The NCAA stated the two coaches attended the track meets during the spring of 2015 and were in a position to be seen by recruits.
