As if the penalties the NCAA slammed Southeast Missouri State with a year ago weren't enough..........
Last year - this is how hard they hammered SEMO
• Public reprimand and censure.
• Two years of probation (June 18, 2008, to June 17, 2010).
• Reduction of women’s basketball scholarships in the 2006-07 academic year from 15 to 12. (Self-imposed by institution).
• Reduction of women’s basketball recruiting days from 85 to 80 between September 2006 and August 2007. (Self-imposed by institution).

• Financial penalty of $12,600 upon the men’s basketball program in the 2006-07 fiscal year. This amount is twice the value of the costs associated with the three men’s basketball student-athletes who traveled to away games. (Self-imposed by institution).
• Reduction in the number of recruiting days in men’s basketball from 130 to 125 between September 2006 and August 2007. (Self-imposed by institution).
