University of Arizona accused of 5 Level I violations by NCAA
Arizona was accused of nine counts of misconduct, including five Level I violations, in a Notice of Allegations sent by the NCAA last week, a person familiar with the situation said.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the violations have not been publicly released.
The Athletic first reported the violations Sunday, citing a letter sent to the NCAA by Arizona’s outside counsel, Paul Kelly. Kelly also requested the school’s case be referred to the new Independent Accountability Resolution Process.
The violations include a lack of institutional control and failure to monitor by the university, and lack of head-coach control by basketball coach Sean Miller.
Women’s swimming and diving coach Augie Busch also was accused of lack of head-coach control.
