Ohio State Reports Four Minor NCAA Recruiting Violations For Football

The Ohio State athletic department has self-reported four minor NCAA violations within the football program since August, according to a document The Columbus Dispatch obtained through a public records request.

Ohio State’s infractions all involved recruiting. Those infractions occurred over five months and ranged from contacting a player before he entered the transfer portal to a booster making contact with a recruit before a football game.

All infractions were deemed Level III, which the NCAA considers “isolated or limited in nature.” These infractions are the least severe level under the NCAA’s current structure and result in little to no penalties.
