Houston must vacate wins, pay fine after being hit with NCAA violations

The NCAA Infractions Committee decided in a report released Wednesday that Houston committed Level II Mitigated violations stemming from incidents on the football and volleyball teams.

Here is a breakdown of the violations from the programs, the penalties and what the committee and athletics director Chris Pezman had to say about them:

Football- Academic

A football team tutor engaged in “academic misconduct” after he wrote four papers for two football student-athletes for cash payments totaling $205 in 2018, according to the report.

Athletics was made aware of the tutor’s conduct in September 2018, the report said, after he approached a graduate student teaching assistant about writing papers for student-athletes.
