The University of Memphis was placed on two years probation and fined as a result of academic-integrity violations involving a counselor, softball players and a men's basketball player, the NCAA announced Wednesday.
The punishments were handed down after the NCAA determined former academic counselor Leslie Brooks paid two softball student-athletes to complete course work and provide quiz and test answers to a player on the men's basketball team.
One softball players was paid $150 for completing three assignments for the men's basketball player. Another was given $400 after giving Brooks the answers to five tests and four quizzes, and directly giving the player answers to two additional tests and one additional quiz.
As a result of those findings, the school was placed on two years of probation, and received a fine of $30,000. The university was also fined one percent of the combined men’s basketball and softball budgets.
Brooks received a 10-year show-cause order for her involvement in the scandal. The school will also vacate all records for the games in which the men's basketball player competed while he was ineligible.
