Alabama football self-reported minor recruiting violations as part of a department wide announcement.
The football violation and was reported June 11, days after the NCAA’s ban on in-person recruited was lifted, per AL.com.
The school said a student host provided an official visitor with transportation and entertainment outside of the 30-mile radius from campus. As a result, the student host and prospect repaid to charity the travel and entertainment costs associated with the impermissible activity, while education was provided to the student-athlete.
The announcement was part of its annual list of minor NCAA recruiting violations, which included five reported “Level 3″ infractions from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
The department also noted violations in softball, women’s soccer and gymnastics.
