In the other, the school provided those staffers involved with addition rules education and requested relief from NCAA penalties.Three infractions were not classified to the football program yet involved the sport.In October, a chapter of the Gamecock Club booster group posted an internet link to a story detailing a prospects verbal commitment to South Carolina. In February, a football manager worked with the team while not enrolled as a full-time student. Also that month, an ex-Gamecocks player wrongly re-Tweeted a prospects post before he had signed a letter of intent.All the schools corrective actions were accepted by the NCAA.Among other sports, the three-time SEC womens basketball champions reported four infractions. One involved a player getting transportation, meals and lodging while not eligible to play. The school declared the player ineligible and made to donate costs of the impermissible benefit to charity.The NCAA imposed additional penalties for one womens basketball violation after an assistant coach texted a 2019 prospect with the same first name as a current player they intended to text.
