The NCAA enforcement staff alleges the University of North Carolina committed five severe violations from 2002-2011, including a lack of institutional control of its athletic department.
North Carolina received the notice Friday, May 22.
Two allegations are related to impermissible benefits tied to academics, and two allegations involve members of the African and Afro-American Studies department violating the NCAA principles of ethical conduct by not assisting with the NCAA investigation.
"We take the allegations the NCAA made about past conduct very seriously," UNC Chancellor Carol L. Folt and Director of Athletics Bubba Cunningham said in a statement.
