The University of Cincinnati was placed on 3 years’ probation Thursday by the National Collegiate Athletic Assn., and the Bearcat football and basketball teams were banned from postseason competition this season.
The NCAA also limited scholarships that the university may award for football the next 3 years and for basketball the next 2 years.
The penalties were for “major” violations of NCAA rules. In recent years, the university issued too many athletic scholarships and broke recruiting rules.
