Institution: University of California, Los Angeles

Violation Summary: Tampering violations occurred in the UCLA cross country and track and field programs when former assistant coach Sean Brosnan had impermissible contacts with the parents of two student-athletes who were enrolled at other NCAA schools at the time and who had not yet entered the Transfer Portal. An additional violation occurred when Brosnan failed to cooperate with the investigation. The panel processed violations for the school through a separate negotiated resolution process. The committee approved the negotiated resolution, bifurcating the case and allowing the school to immediately begin serving penalties while awaiting the committee’s final decision on Brosnan’s remaining contested portion of the case.

Penalty Summary: One year of probation; $5,000 financial penalty; vacation of team and individual records; and a one-year show-cause order for Brosnan. If employed by an NCAA member school during that time, he will be prohibited from communicating by phone or in person with prospects for a period of six months.
