Cal Poly NCAA Sanctions Stand

NCAA sanctions placed on Cal Poly are going to be upheld. The sanctions came after college officials reported that an accounting error had given 256 student-athletes an $800 book stipend between 2012 and 2013. Cal Poly Athletics was penalized with two years probation, a $5,000 fine and a vacation of records. Cal Poly Athletic Director Don Oberhelman sent out a release saying, in part, he felt the NCAA was punishing the student-athletes over a minor accounting error and doesn’t compare to other significant cases that involve actual acts of impropriety and cheating. The decision does not impact any current student-athletes.
