IUPUI has been officially given the go-ahead to impose sanctions upon itself due to transgressions from 2003-2007. The problem has According to the NCAA, 97 student-athletes were issued false or invalid certificates of eligibility by "...human error..." and "...were not an attempt to obtain any competitive advantage." The IUPUI official release on their website (IUPUIJags.com) stated "Rules violated concern credit-hour requirements, designation of degree program, fulfillment of percentage toward degree program, and exceptions to progress toward degree."
While this is a major problem for the university, they handled it appropriately. With the NCAA Head Quarters less than a mile from The Jungle, IUPUI was definitely under the magnifying glass for the last two and a half years while the internal investigation was going on. The sanctions include: Three years probation; Loss of some scholarships; 18 victories by the Men's Basketball team (2003-2004); 14 victories by the Women's Basketball team (2006-2007); and 40 victories by the Women's Volleyball team (2004-2006). There are no implications for the 2010-2011basketball seasons in terms of post season eligibility.
