Princeton University was found guilty of committing a “major violation” of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules after an alumnus paid the $33,000 cost of tuition, room and board for a member of the Tigers women’s tennis team.
The student, who wasn’t identified, will have to make a charitable donation of $33,000, the university said. Her records for matches she played during the 2007-2008 academic year and the fall semester of the 2008-2009 academic year must be vacated, the NCAA said in a press release. The women’s team was 5-2 in the Ivy League in 2007-08 and 6-1 in 2008-09.
