Boise State Placed On NCAA Probation

The NCAA has placed Boise State on probation for three years and imposed other sanctions that include a public reprimand, a one-year postseason ban for women's tennis and recruiting restrictions and scholarship reductions for affected sports. Some of the penalties had previously been self-imposed by the university. Their football program will now only be able to offer nine fewer scholarships through the 2013-14 season, along with fewer contact practices during spring training for three years. Boise State President Bob Kustra said...
