Utah Men’s Basketball team hit with NCAA sanctions for recruiting violations

In some news that hit Tuesday morning, the Utah athletic department announced that the NCAA has hit them with some sanctions due to some recruiting violations that were self reported by the school. Per the official release:

“The recruiting violations centered on a misreading of the NCAA calendar and a misinterpretation of the official visit limitations. Though the calendar oversight resulted in Utah coaches visiting a prospect at his high school during a period when in-person, off-campus recruiting was impermissible, the staff did follow all institutional policies and procedures in coordinating the visit. The coaches also inadvertently triggered an official visit when the same prospect made an unofficial visit to Utah in connection with his official visit to Salt Lake Community College, which also was interested in the prospect.
