The essence of the charges, which are primarily Level II in the NCAA’s hierarchy of violations, is this:
- Floodgate: Kyle Flood providing a student-athlete with impermissible extra benefits by directly contacting a professor
- Floodgate-plus: A former assistant football coach is alleged to have had improper off-campus recruiting contact with a prospective student athlete in 2014 (Level III); charging the coach with unethical conduct for providing false or misleading information to the NCAA and the institution during the investigation.
