In its formal response to the NCAA's Notice of Allegations, Rutgers University recommended a series of self-imposed sanctions against its football program.
The suggested penalties include probation for a one-year period, a $5,000 fine and a series of restrictions that would limit the coaching staff's ability to recruit.
Absent from its self-proposed sanctions is a willingness to vacate records.
But in its 102-page response, the university acknowledges the NCAA could impose such a penalty.
