NCAA Comes Down on UNC

The University of Northern Colorado was found guilty of several instances of academic fraud, including former head coach Ben Hill and other coaching staff completing assignments for student athletes and paying for classes to keep his athletes eligible, among others. Hill was fired in 2016 after allegations that he had helped athletes with class work.

“The head coach took shortcuts to success, putting his own self-interest and ambitions ahead of student-athlete welfare,” according to the NCAA report.
