The NCAA reportedly concluded an 18-month investigation into Rutgers by finding that the school and members of the athletic department committed seven possible violations for not complying with NCAA standards, according to Keith Sargeant of NJ Advance Media.
The alleged violations stem from Kyle Flood's tenure as the head coach of the football program. Flood was fired following the 2015 season.
Per Sargeant's report, "Flood provided former cornerback Nadir Barnwell with an impermissible extra benefit by directly contacting a professor seeking special consideration for Barnwell in an academic course relating to the 2014-2015 academic year."
The NCAA also charged Flood with "failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance in the football program, violating the principles of NCAA head coach responsibility legislation."
Other possible instances of wrongdoing include recruiting violations and "inconsistencies" in the football team's drug-testing program, leading to the expectation that the NCAA will charge the university with a "failure to monitor" its athletic program.
The drug-testing failures were extensive, per Steve Politi of NJ.com.
