The NCAA on Wednesday upheld its plan to erase 47 wins across two seasons from the Brigham Young University men’s basketball team.
BYU had appealed that aspect of the penalties, which were announced in November when the NCAA also summarized its findings in the investigation into then-guard Nick Emery’s interactions with boosters.
BYU on Wednesday issued a rebuke to the NCAA’s latest decision and questioned the association’s process for adjudicating wrongdoing.
“This penalty is truly unprecedented for a case in which the institution had no knowledge of or involvement in the infractions,” BYU said in a news release.
