NCAA hammers UMass tennis team over ‘illegal’ $252 phone jack

After all the recent scandals in college basketball, mostly tied to the FBI investigation into corruption, the NCAA has finally decided its had enough.

As a result, the organization is dropping the hammer…on UMass tennis…over a $252 telephone jack.

Here are details from ESPN:

Last month, the NCAA decided enough was enough, and it dropped the harshest and most unforgiving punishment on — wait for it — the University of Massachusetts women’s tennis team.

UMass received two years’ probation, self-imposed a $5,000 fine and had the records and matches from two seasons, 2015-16-and 2016-17, expunged because two players received “improper benefits” of $252.
