NCAA Release | Public Infractions Report

LINCOLN – The NCAA announced its public infractions report against Chadron State College and its football program Wednesday.
 
The report follows an NCAA investigation of violations identified during an inquiry into Chadron State's athletic program.
 
"We're pleased to have a decision from the NCAA and now we can continue to ensure Eagle athletics remains the strong program it already is," Dr. Randy Rhine, CSC president said. "I have confidence in our coaching staff and athletic administration to lead us forward."
 
Chadron State College's football program will not receive a postseason ban and scholarships will not be reduced. However, CSC will vacate its wins during the 2011 and 2012 seasons and is placed under probation until Nov. 5, 2016.
 
Nebraska State College System chancellor Stan Carpenter said he was grateful for the leadership of Rhine and other college officials during the NCAA investigation.
 
"While it is vital we learn from the NCAA investigation as we look toward the future of CSC, our primary focus has been and will continue to be providing quality academic and extra-curricular programs to benefit our students," he said. "President Rhine's insight and leadership continue to make Chadron a strong institution."
 
The Nebraska State College System serves nearly 9,000 students through three geographically diverse institutions. Combined, the three Colleges offer more than 200 degree, certificate and pre-professional programs that are accessible on the campuses, via the Internet and in several locations throughout the state. With more than 250 credentialed faculty members and 50,000 successful graduates, the Nebraska State College System provides significant human and intellectual capital that contributes to the current and future strength of the State of Nebraska.
