NCAA violations
The NCAA Committee on Infractions found violations involving nine sports dating back to 1990 and included NCAA rules infractions in the areas of eligibility, extra benefits, recruiting, unethical conduct, failure to monitor and lack of institutional control.[9][10] For the next four years, Texas Tech was placed on probation and the 1996–97 men's basketball team was ineligible for conference wins and participation in the 1997 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament.
