This serves as part of the basis for the lack of institutional control allegation in Allegation No. 5.
NOTE: *The NCAA enforcement staff believes this allegation meets two exceptions to the statute of limitations in NCAA Bylaw 19.5.11. First, the factual information indicates a pattern of willful violations that began before and continued into the four-year period. Second, the factual information indicates a blatant disregard for the NCAA’s fundamental extra-benefit and ethical-conduct bylaws [and the enforcement staff satisfied the conditions identified in Bylaw 19.5.11-(c)].
