UNLV gets three-year probation
LAS VEGAS (AP) - UNLV
effectively closed the Jerry
Tarkanian ora Tuesday. a< cept*
ing a three-year probation from
the NCAA that allows the men's
basketball team to compete in
postseason play.
In a settlement of allegations
dating ba< k to Tarkanian's lUHfi
recruitment of former New York
City prep star Lloyd Daniels.
t'Nl.V agreed to sanctions on
television appearnm es and
si heduling Hut the school kept
its chance to play in the NCAA
postseason tournament
UNLV admitted to 2fi unsper -
ified violations in the agree
ment. which the NCAA said
revolved around inducements
and (ninefits to n-< ruits and i or
ient UNLV athletes Neither side
released sper ifit violations
Imh ause of an ongoing court dis
pute involving the state's due
process law.
"We're just delighted it's over
and that we're still in the post
sehson playoffs." UNIA' Presi
dent Hubert Masson said "We
think we were treated fairly It s
a wonderful sense of relief that
this is behind us."
NCAA officials said they were
happy to settle the six-year-old
i ase. which had been hogged
down in Tarkanian’s dispute
with the universitv. and with
the state's passage of a due
process law the NCAA chal
lenged in court It was the
NCAA's longest pending infrm -
lions case.
"We don't ever like to see an
institution go through an infrac
tions process that lasts more
than six years." said David
Swank, head of the NCAA
infrai turns committee
Swank credited the universi
ty’s eagerness to investigate the
allegations and its decision to
set up moot compliance efforts
on campus That reduced what
would have been a mandatory
minimum sanction of two years
probation and a one-year total
ban on postseason play and tele
vision appearances.
"But for the actions of the uni
versity, the penalties would
have been mm h more severe."
Swank said "But these are not a
slap on the wrist. These are still
fairly substantial penalties."
Tarkanian. replaced as coach
after the 1991-92 season, urged
the university to vigorously
oppose the charges, claiming
they were minor and not justi
fied.
Tarkanian was not immediate
ly available for comment Tues
day. but his replacement. Rollie
Massimino, said he could live
with the sanctions
"Obviously, no one likes to lie
punished." Massimino said.
"But under the circumstances
they were fair and reasonable."
The sanctions t ame one day
before the fall signing period for
high school and junior college
players
Under the terms of the settle
ment. UNl.V will.
• Reduce bv two the number
of basketball scholarships over
the next two years.
• Not be able to schedule any
home games except against Big
West (Conference opponents in
the 19(14-95 season.
• Be prohibited from televis
ing anywhere non-conference
regular season road games for

• Be barred from using any
exceptions to NCAA limits on
the number of basketball games
for preseason tournaments and
foreign tours
• Reduce the number of paid
visits by recruits to the campus
from If) to 10 over the next two
years
"This is a lug relief," UNl.V
captain Dedan Thomas said.
It's a great weight off every
one's shoulders. Now we can get
down to what we’re supposed to
do and not have to worry about
anything but basketball."
University athletic director
Jim Weaver said only road
games with UCLA and George
town that wore to be televised
by LSI’N would be affected by
the penalties this season.
Weaver said he would try to get
UCLA officials to switch the
game to Las Vegas so it still
could be televised.
The violations stem from a
probe begun by the NCAA fol
lowing a 19H7 New York News
day article on the recruitment of
Daniels, now w ith the NBA San
Antonio Spurs, who never
played for UNLV.
‘We're just
delighted it’s over
and that we're still
in the postseason
playoffs.’
Robert Maxson.
UNL V president
The NCAA listed 34 alleged
violations against the universi
ty in December 1990. but the
resolution of the case was
delayed because of legal battles
over Nevada's due process law.
The settlement Tuesday
applies only to the university
and not to any possible NCAA
actions against coaches or other
personnel named in the charges.
Tarkanian's departure from
the school was bitter, with the
former coach claiming UNLV
administrators planted negative
stories in the media about him
in an ultimately successful effort
to get him to resign. Tarkanian
coached 19 years at the univer
sity, and his teams reached four
Final Fours and won the nation
al championship in 1990.
The former coach has had a
stormy relationship with the
NCAA, which he contends goes
back to critical comments he
made about the organization
while a coach at Long Beach
State. Tuesday's sanctions mark
the third lime the NCAA has
placed schools on probation for
alleged violations while Tarkan
ian was coaching.
Swank, though, said the
penalties were structured so cur
rent players would he affected
least.
"Many of the present student
athletes were in high school or
junior high school when these
violations occurred." Swank
said.
