Brigham Young University-Hawai'i has been placed on three years probation for failing "to monitor certain aspects of its athletic program," according to a ruling by the NCAA Division II Committee on Infractions.

Other penalties include public reprimand and censure, a mandatory compliance review and completion of annual compliance reports. BYUH's probation period will be from Aug. 26, 2009 to Aug. 25, 2012.

The BYUH athletes involved participated in softball (two players), women's basketball (two), men's basketball, women's soccer, men's soccer and men's tennis.

The NCAA committee found that from the 2005-06 academic year through 2007-08, the NCAA ruled that BYUH failed to monitor its athletic program in four specific areas pertaining to student-athlete eligibility, mostly the application and monitoring of transfer rules.

In one instance, NCAA rules state that a transfer student-athlete must complete either six-semester or six-quarter hours of transferable academic credit from the preceding academic term in order to be eligible for competition. The committee found that the university did not apply this rule when certifying eight transfer student-athletes.
