The NCAA put the hammer down on Division I-AA Montana last month. The governing body said the school and former coach Robin Pflugrad failed to monitor the program.
The NCAA said boosters provided extra benefits to players, including bail money and free legal representation. The yearlong investigation also found other perks, including free meals, clothing, lodging and transportation. Things got so out of hand, even the New York Times dispatched a reporter to Missoula.
Thus, the program is on three years of probation.
The Grizzlies are coming off a 5-6 season under Mick Delaney.
