This morning, the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Division I Committee on Infractions released its decision following a rigorous joint investigation of the men's basketball and baseball programs by the NCAA and University of the Pacific.
Statement by President Pamela A. Eibeck:
"University of the Pacific has an unwavering commitment to student success, ethical conduct and academic integrity. Our student-athletes, coaches and athletics staff strive to meet the highest levels of academic excellence, sportsmanship and teamwork. The collaborative investigation with the NCAA revealed that we had some gaps and we accept responsibility for them. We went through a comprehensive, transparent process of reviewing our policies, imposing sanctions on ourselves, then creating and implementing a new set of guidelines to strengthen what we do to assure academic integrity.
