KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Knoxville News Sentinel is reporting that Tennessee has self-imposed a two-year probation on its athletics department as part of its response to alleged NCAA violations.
The probation, along with other smaller penalties, are outlined in the university’s 191-page official response to the NCAA allegations, which was filed in May and obtained by the newspaper.
Tennessee docked former coach Bruce Pearl’s salary and limited his staff’s ability to recruit when it revealed in September that it was being investigated by the NCAA.
In addition to those punishments and the probation, Tennessee has prohibited new basketball coach Cuonzo Martin and his staff from providing off-campus meals during the 2011-12 academic year and limited recruiting by football coach Derek Dooley and his staff.
