The Courier-Journal

"In a letter sent to WKU's faculty and staff, Ransdell added, "Specifically, the violations include hazing, underage alcohol consumption, and abuse, including engagement of perspective student athletes on recruiting visits to campus. Additionally, the investigations found that coaches were aware of this pervasive culture and failed to sufficiently eliminate inappropriate behavior within these teams."

Really hammering the big money sports of swimming and diving. I wonder what they would have done had this been football or men's basketball? Anyone here think they would have suspended either for five years?

No, but I bet they would have fired the coach or coaches involved.

Interesting they elected to shut it down "for five years" on the heels of dropping men's tennis for financial reasons last year and the announcement comes just two weeks short of one year after that announcement.

As would any other program. So, why didn't they just fire the swimming and diving coaches and move along if the same penalty for the same offense would not be administered to the football or basketball programs?

If the sport is suspended does it still count towards Title IV compliance?

Good question. They are honoring the current student's scholarships so those should still count. But as they graduate or transfer, the "scholarship opportunities" are not being replaced.

Unless they add something else.
