LAFAYETTE – The NCAA reached a decision regarding the alleged misconduct by former Louisiana-Lafayette assistant coach David Saunders and officially levied sanctions against the university Tuesday.
The NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions panel accepted the university’s self-imposed sanctions, which included scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions and vacation of wins from the 2011 season, and imposed several other penalties against the university.
Among the new penalties were additional recruiting restrictions, a $5,000 fine and an eight-year show cause order for Saunders, meaning Saunders and the university would have to appear before the Committee on Infractions if Saunders was hired for another Division I job in the next eight years.
