Institution: Stanford University

Date: September 15, 2016

Violation Summary: Stanford University did not monitor countable athletically related activity for its softball program, according to a decision issued by a Division I Committee on Infractions panel. The former head softball coach did not promote an atmosphere of compliance when he directed, supervised and had knowledge of countable activity violations in his program. Additionally, two boosters provided extra benefits to a football student-athlete.

Penalty Summary: The panel accepted the university's self-imposed penalties and added a $5,000 fine in addition to a one-year show-cause order for the former head softball coach. During that time, if an NCAA member school hires the coach, it must conduct compliance education sessions for the coach. Penalties self-imposed by the school include a reduction in countable athletic activity for the softball team.
