The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions announced Wednesday a hearing panel "could not conclude that Baylor violated NCAA rules when it failed to report allegations of and address sexual and interpersonal violence committed on its campus."
However, Baylor's football program was found in violation in other NCAA rules from 2011 through 2016, including impermissible benefits to a student-athlete, an ethical conduct rules violation by a former assistant director of football operations and the use of a "predominantly female student-host group" for football recruiting events.
The program was placed on four years of probation and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine, will incur several recruiting restrictions during the 2021-22 academic year and must provide details for a vacation of records compiled while ineligible student-athletes were active.
