The great Baylor basketball programs may be in trouble with NCAA the
after an investigation found that coaches made more than 1,200
impermissible calls and text messages to prospects over a 29-month span
dating to 2008. Less than a week after its women’s basketball team won the national championship, Baylor said it has been involved in a three-year
investigation with the NCAA into what are believed to be hundreds of
impermissible phone calls and text messages sent by coaches to
prospects.
The school did not describe any details of the proper investigation,
including which sports were involved, but the announcement came a few
hours after ESPN.com reported that coaches for both the men’s and
women’s basketball programs had made more than 1,200 calls and text
messages to prospects over a 29-month span dating to 2008.
The report lists a number of self-imposed penalties, including barring
women's coach Kim Mulkey from recruiting off campus in July and fewer
scholarships for both programs. The ANCA may dole out harsher penalties.
