Arkansas was placed on 3 years probation this morning after the NCAA ruled that a booster overpaid athletes that worked for him. Arkansas took action on themselves by taking away 8 football scholarships for the next 4 years. The NCAA is taking 2 more away for one more year. Arkansas also has to give up all 56 permitted paid recruiting visists for next year. Full story link below:

No, it says they have to give up 6 of their 56. I know it couldn't be all 56 because they didn't take away all of Marshall's recruiting visits.
Quote:Arkansas self-reported the infractions in 2000.

From "Committee Rationale", paragraph 4:
Quote:University Investigative Response. The committee was quite troubled by the lack of due diligence and failure of the compliance program to undertake adequate inquiry when expressions of concern were raised about aspects of nonqualifier employment and the failure of the university to undertake adequate response even after potential problems clearly were identified and even in the context of an NCAA investigation with the heightened scrutiny that entails.
