The NCAA placed the Creighton men s basketball program on probation for two years and handed down other minor penalties Tuesday based on improper benefits accepted by a former assistant coach.
The punishment, announced by the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions, spawned from a sport-wide FBI investigation in 2019 into bribery that resulted in the arrests of four assistant coaches at the Division I level.
