Texas A&M's men's basketball program has been placed on two years probation, and coach Buzz Williams will serve a two-game suspension this season, for multiple Level II violations, the NCAA announced Friday. A source told CBS Sports Williams will miss the Aggies' first two games.
quote:

In addition to probation and Williams' suspension, Texas A&M will pay a $5,000 fine, lose five official visits during the 2021-22 academic year, and lose seven recruiting days during the 2021-22 academic year.
quote:

An assistant coach conducted supervised, off-campus workouts with a prospect and several men's basketball players that were not allowed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The same assistant coach observed a prospect participating in an open gym during an unofficial visit and conducted two 45-minute tryouts with that prospect.
quote:

Williams' suspension is tied to him having impermissible contact with a prospect during an evaluation period. He also allowed some non-coaching staff members to participate in on-court activities and, according to the NCAA, did not "promote an atmosphere of compliance because of his personal involvement in the violations -- and because he did not monitor his staff's involvement in violations."

Dirty Buzz Williams should learn how to run a clean program from Will Wade. This is really embarrassing for Aggie Basketball.

You'd think with as much as they like to shite on their own "honor code", they'd win something at some point but I guess not.

LSU is coming soon. Takes awhile for the NCAA to do anything.

Can someone explain the purpose of the NCAA imposing a $5,000 fine? If anything screams just how out of touch this institution is with reality, it's imposing $5,000 fines as if that's some kind of penalty.

LSU is the North Carolina and Kansas of the SEC.

Buzz Williams is the most overrated basketball coach in College hoops.

Agreed it is minor, but further proof that all schools cheat. You can’t faux outrage at others who cheat. The “your cheating is worse than our cheating” mentality doesn’t fly. All moot with the NILs anyhow. They should just forget all these penalties and investigations.

Man I thought Buzz Williams was a homerun hire for A&M. He's having a terrible start.
