South Carolina to reduce football scholarships by six
The University of South Carolina agrees with the NCAA that major violations took place in its athletic department and will eliminate six football scholarships as part of its self-imposed discipline. The NCAA found that athletes at the Columbia, South Carolina school received improper benefits from a local hotel that allowed athletes to stay at the hotel at a significantly reduced rate. The University is not contesting the findings of the NCAA. The school will eliminate a total of six football scholarships over a three year period in hopes that the NCAA will find this and other self-imposed penalties to be sufficient punishment.
No charges will be filed against Xavier and Cincinnati brawlers
A Hamilton County, Ohio prosecutor said that the apologies between the the University of Cincinnati and Xavier basketball teams should be sufficient to avoid having the involvement of the criminal justice system in the matter. The two schools have each suspended four players, with the shortest suspension being one game and the longest being six games.
