Louisiana-Lafayette's self-imposed sanctions have been accepted by the NCAA. Lousiana-Lafayette will lose 11 scholarships over the course of three seasons starting effectively which will end in 2017-2018, face recruiting restrictions, and will have to reset records broken in the 2011 season. They will be on probation for two years.
The sanctions are a result of the Ragin Cajuns playing ineligible players during the 2011 season as well as the actions of former linebackers coach David Saunders paying at least $6,500 to a student-athlete as well as arranging fake test scores for incoming recruits.
Saunders has been placed on an eight-year show-cause stipulation for his actions by the NCAA.
