LUBBOCK, Texas -
Texas Tech University has received final resolution regarding the NCAA
issues surrounding the men's basketball program and offers the following
statement from Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt:
"I
am pleased to announce that we have final resolution regarding the NCAA
issues within our men's basketball program. The NCAA notified the
university late last week
that it has accepted our self-imposed penalties and has classified this
case as secondary. These self-imposed penalties were served in the fall
of 2012 with a reduction in practice timeover a period of four
weeks. The NCAA concluded that because our actions
in response to the situation were substantial and meaningful, no further
action by the NCAA enforcement staff was necessary. We are looking
forward to an exciting season under the leadership of Coach Walker."
