MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — The NCAA has put the Ball State women’s tennis program on probation for three years over what it says were excessive practice requirements and the former coach’s attempts to have players lie to investigators.
The NCAA’s Committee on Infractions on Wednesday also put limits on former coach Kathy Bull’s contact with players if she has another college coaching job in the next three years.
The NCAA described the violations as major and said they included Bull giving $125 loans to two players for their dorm room deposits last August.
Bull coached the Cardinals for 20 seasons before being fired last October.
She filed a federal lawsuit this week against the university, arguing administrators “intentionally trumped-up the allegations” against her.
