Houston, Texas -- Houston Baptist University’s men’s gymnastics team was put on three years’ probation last week and barred from postseason play through the 1991-92 season because of violations of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.
The NCAA’s infractions committee cited Houston Baptist for a handful of “major” violations.
Among the violations cited: Prospective students were provided with long-term housing and meals and practiced with the team before enrolling in the university. The committee also found that Houston Baptist had paid for one gymnast’s round-trip plane ticket to his home in Spain.
