The NCAA has wrapped up its investigation into the Missouri men’s basketball team.
After a Division I Committee on Infractions panel overlooked all of the presented information, the NCAA determined Missouri failed to monitor its program. The investigation also found “impermissible inducements and extra benefits” that totaled $11,402.
On Tuesday, the committee announced it accepted Missouri’s self-imposed sanctions — which included a postseason ban in basketball this past season and scholarship reductions.
In addition, Missouri will be placed under probation for an additional year through August 1, 2017.
The full list of penalties can be seen below, with the full and detailed committee report available by clicking here.
