Alaska Nanooks/NCAA information
On Nov. 5, 2014, UAF received notice from the National Collegiate Athletics Association of penalties stemming from a series of eligibility infractions spanning the 2007-2008 through 2011-2012 academic years. The university discovered the infractions in 2011 and 2012 and self-reported them to the NCAA at the time, in addition to imposing some self-penalties. These new penalties include some of those self-sanctions.
These infractions were due to the university’s failure to establish and maintain adequate systems to ensure that NCAA eligibility was being performed correctly. They are not the result of any wrongdoing by student-athletes.
Since these infractions were first reported, UAF has worked to completely overhaul its eligibility process and controls. Today, our student-athletes have the advising, records and eligibility support they deserve.
