An infractions appeals com mittee upheld a one-year post season ban placed on Kentucky’s football program. It was one of several penalties levied against the school in January after in ternal and NCAA investigations unearthed dozens of recruiting violations. “The Kentucky case was one of widespread abuse by employ ees of the university,” said Terry Don Phillips, chairman of the in fractions appeals committee. “It is about institutional responsi bility for the conduct and control of its employees and the duty and care an institution must exercise in the administration of its ath letic program.” Kentucky appealed the ban in February, claiming the penalty was too harsh because the violations did not give the school a clear competitive ad vantage. Alabama sought restoration of six scholarships and its bowl eligibility but the appeals committee upheld all the penalties imposed after the program was cited for illegal recruiting by boosters and oth er infractions. Interim Alabama President J. Barry Mason said university of ficials “disagree and are disap pointed” with the decision.
