CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) - The NCAA placed Illinois on probation for one year Thursday because a booster improperly provided payments and other benefits to a football prospect.
The offenses were a major violation of NCAA rules and occurred between April 2003 and January 2004.
An athletic booster provided lodging, transportation and use of a vehicle and paid the prospect for work he never performed, said Gene Marsh, chairman of the NCAA's infractions committee.
