The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball team was banned from 2020 postseason play Thursday as part of a ruling from the Division I Committee on Infractions panel, which determined two boosters provided impermissible benefits to the program.
"Both sets of violations occurred because men's basketball coaching staff members invited outside individuals into their program," the committee said. "They permitted these outside individuals to interact with their student-athletes, and those actions resulted in violations."
Other punishments include four years of probation with one scholarship taken away each year, a fine of $5,000 plus 2 percent of the program's budget, and a series of recruiting restrictions.
