UCF will appear before the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions in April, but the school announced Monday several self-imposed sanctions in both football and basketball.

On the basketball side, there were no self-imposed postseason bans, but scholarships, recruiting hours and wins were taken away. From the Orlando Sentinel:

Vacate all wins for the three seasons from 2008-2011.
Remove one scholarship for the next two seasons, from 13 to 12.
Reduce the number of coaches allowed to simultaneously recruit off-campus from three to two, while also prohibiting all basketball coaches from engaging in off-campus during two of the three July evaluation periods for the next two years.
Reduce the number of recruiting days to 25.
Issue letters of reprimand to head coach Donnie Jones and assistant coach Darren Tillis. Jones was suspended for the first three Conference USA games, while Tillis was suspended for two.
Jones and Tillis cannot receive bonuses or salary increases for the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years.

UCF will learn that hard lesson that they are no Ohio St.

Seriously, what does it accomplish to vacate wins from four years ago? I've never understood that. Take USC. Had they vacated their BCS championship, what were they gonna' do? Bring a bunch of old, out of shape men back to college and have them play in another championship game?
