NEW YORK -- Baruch College gave 30 student-athletes more than $255,000 in improper benefits over the course of five years, NCAA officials said in a decision issued Thursday.The NCAA Division III Committee on Infractions said the schools former vice president for student affairs and enrollment management and its former head womens basketball coach both violated NCAA ethical conduct rules.As I stated unambiguously to the NCAA, Baruch College accepts, and takes full responsibility for, the fact that some improper benefits were made available to a limited number of student-athletes during the period from 2010-2015, Baruch Colleges President Mitchel B. Wallerstein said in a statement.The committee said in its report that it had not seen a high-level campus administrator who had such breadth and scope of responsibilities in an infractions case as the former vice president.The former vice president wanted to raise the profile of athletics at the college and as part of that effort he was closely involved in the recruitment, admission and awarding of financial aid for prospects and student-athletes, especially in the sport of womens basketball, Gerald Houlihan, a member of the infractions committee.The administrator and coach were not named in the report and university officials declined to name them.The former vice president, who was with the institution for 10 years, and former head womens basketball coach knowingly arranged or provided impermissible financial aid and extra benefits to student-athletes, according to the NCAA.However, the former vice president claimed he did not receive education on NCAA rules, therefore the violations were inadvertent. The former head womens basketball coach also said he had insufficient rules education, according to the NCAA.The penalties include four years of probation, a one-year postseason ban for the womens basketball team and prohibiting the coach and vice president from all athletically related duties for one year.When asked about the possibility of an appeal, Baruch spokesperson Christina Latouf said the college will digest the information and respond at another time. The school in Manhattan has 18,000 students and 13 sports teams, according to its website.Violations included granting in-state residency based on athletics, providing impermissible financial aid, cash awards and extra benefits and choosing student-athletes for resident assistant positions when they were not qualified.The case started when Baruch College received two anonymous letters in early 2013 that alleged the former vice president provided two student-athletes improper financial aid. An internal investigation was conducted and a self-report was submitted to the NCAA enforcement staff in January 2014.Wallerstein said the college made some changes during the course of the NCAAs investigation, including revamping the role of the athletics director, appointing a new faculty athletics representative, establishing an athletics compliance team and improving training on student-athlete recruitment and financial aid.This was not the first time Baruch College was found to have committed major violations.In the 2004-05 and 2005-06 academic years, the womens basketball program was involved in a work-study program that wasnt monitored correctly and led to extra benefits and wages for work not completed. Penalties included one year probation, a $5,000 penalty, vacated wins, and a two-game suspension for an assistant coach.Houlihan said the prior case did not factor into the committees decision.I am committed to having an Athletics Program at Baruch College of which our students, faculty, staff, and the entire Baruch community can be proud and that is managed in an ethical and responsible fashion, Wallerstein said.

Cheap Ottawa Senators Jerseys .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Penrith could receive a huge boost ahead of Fridays all-important NRL match against the Wests Tigers, with forward Chris Grevsmuhl a chance of returning from an elbow injury.Grevsmuhl missed Sundays win over Newcastle after hurting his elbow against the Sydney Roosters the previous week, but trained on Wednesday afternoon with the team.His possible return would inject more starch to a Panthers side who need to win to consolidate their spot in the top eight with just two more regular-season games to follow.Prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard wasnt so confident of Grevsmuhl making it back in time, having only just returned from a similar injury after missing four games.Im not too sure on that one. This is the first training session back since Sunday. But whatever (coach Anthony Griffin) does, Im pretty sure the boys will do a job, he said.Campbell-Gillard who, before the elbow injury, hadnt missed a NRL game since making his debut last year in round one, admitted he was still unable to straighten his arm.Its fully healed but obviously trying to get it fully straightened by the physio work, doing everything right that I can do. It should be good, he said.ddddddddddddIve got it strapped. I feel a bit comfortable there being supported by some strapping tape. Again, Ive just got to keep doing my rehab and getting physio treatment.For the Tigers, who sit two points behind seventh-placed Penrith in tenth spot, another loss would all but end any hope of squeezing into the finals.Panthers veteran Peter Wallace labelled Friday nights game a must-win.Its a very important game, just on the basis of where we both are on the ladder. Its our biggest game of the season to date, he said.I wouldnt say theyre finals, but the intensitys getting a bit higher each week. You expect it to go up another level this week.Wallace said the team were still smarting from the 34-26 loss in round 17 to the Tigers.We were disappointed in our effort that night. Just the execution in attack was really off and, defensively, we were off too, he said.Obviously, its do-or-die for them and were in a bit of the same boat too. Were going to have to be at our best on Friday. ' ' '
