The NCAA sentenced UNC Greensboro’s athletics department to three years of probation and a $15,000 fine, among other punishments, after two former staff members placed sports wagers in violation of NCAA rules. The two former UNC Greensboro athletics staffers placed several bets, some of which included wagers on the university's men's basketball team, while on the school's staff, which violated NCAA rules, the organization announced Thursday.
One of the men, a women’s assistant basketball coach, said he placed an "extensive number of online wagers on professional and college sports," but then declined to cooperate with the rest of the inquiry, refusing to provide his online sports wagering histories which prevented the enforcement staff from being able to determine the full extent of his gambling activities.
