I know the NCAA required Penn St. to donate money to charity, but I don't remember actual fines.

Read today that they fined Jackson St. $5,000 and put the tennis team on one year probation. The coach used an ineligible player using the name of an eligible player. The now former coach also had a 2 year show cause penalty.

I guess they don't have money in the HBCUs so they cheat in other ways. I remember Texas Southern had football players who had dropped out (and half the band weren't even students).

Maybe the recordkeeping in college tennis, and the low profile of the sport, makes some coaches think they can get away with stuff like that. Boise State was busted by the NCAA several years ago because their women's tennis coach played ineligible players -- IIRC both players who hadn't yet enrolled in school and players whose eligibility was over played for Boise in varsity matches. That coach also got a show cause penalty.

My personal opinion is that the NCAA should not sanction golf or tennis as varsity intercollegiate athletics.

If people want to organize club teams at schools, fine.

With all the arrests, the best argument for not sanctioning a sport is football. Tennis players and golfers usually are good students who tend not to embarrass the school.

NCAA assesses fines.
AState had a hoops player who got access to the password and credentials to order merchandise on the university account. He ordered $5k worth of stuff and the director of basketball operations panicked and let him abscond with the stuff. Before the assistant AD for paying the bills figured it out the player got kicked off the team for other issues (who'd a thunk it right?).

Director of basketball ops got fired, school called in NCAA. In the NCAA report in choosing to not impose a show cause on the DBO said "he was holding his first high responsibility job and clearly was not savvy in dealing with thieves" held the firing was sufficient.

But did fine AState for not securing access to the ordering system better and not having a better tracking system to verify orders were proper.

Fines are part of the enforcement structure and they are payable to the NCAA.

Another school to watch is Alabama have some self reporting infractions including 5 in football.
