No additional sanctions were added by the NCAA in addition to those self-imposed by USF as a result of violations in the men’s basketball program, bringing closure to the Orlando Antigua era at USF.
The previously imposed sanctions of a loss of 50 days of off-campus recruiting (served last summer), one scholarship during the 2016-17 season, and a $5,000 fine, were enough to satisfy the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions.
Orlando Antigua’s brother and former assistant coach Oliver Antigua’s admitted lying to the NCAA about securing tutors and hotel rooms for recruits, and he was personally hit with a two-year “show-cause” penalty.
