The University of Oregon Men’s and Women’s Basketball Programs have been hit with Minor Violations from the NCAA

Let me start by saying that the violations were all self-reported last year. For the Men’s and Women’s Basketball Programs respectively, it was similar. For the Women’s Basketball Program, Head Coach Kelly Graves failed to monitor and promote an atmosphere of compliance. Head Coach Dana Altman failed to monitor a key member of his staff.

The University of Oregon has been put on two years probation through December 4th, 2020.

The violations by the Basketball programs were minor, but for Oregon Track and Field, it was a different story. The NCAA found that an instructor gave a student-athlete a passing grade of B- from an F. (This was also reported by the University.) Oregon Track and Field will have to vacate records for which the female student-athlete was ineligible.

Head Coach Kelly Graves will be required to serve a two-game suspension this season as a result of the violations against his program. The Women’s Program must also reduce the number of countable couches by one at regular practice for 10 hours. (This was self-imposed by the University.)

For Oregon Men’s Head Coach Dana Altman the program will reduce the number of countable coaches at practice by one at regular practice for five hours. (self-imposed by the University of Oregon.)

There is also a $5000 fine imposed along with one percent of each of the Men’s and Women’s Basketball budgets.

When these were infractions were reported last year, they seemed minor at the time. The NCAA has treated them appropriately I believe. No major issue with the programs in question, just a slap on the wrist for not paying attention to every little detail. (Again, we knew about all of these infractions as they were already reported by the University of Oregon.)
