                        A student may compete while enrolled in a
                        full-time graduate program as defined by the
                        institution, but in any event not fewer than
                        eight hours.
 
Facts:
        SA, a graduate student-athlete participated in 21 contests
        while enrolled in less than eight hours.  SA was advised by
        institution's compliance officer that he would be eligible as
        long as he was enrolled in the institution's minimum full time
        load for graduate students (6 hours).
 
NCAA Eligibility action:
        Eligibility restored on basis of institution's action
 
Institution Action:
        In response to the violation, the institution removed the
        compliance officer from his position and suspended the
        director of athletics for one week without pay.  Additionally,
        the institution withheld the SA from two regular season
        contests.
 
NCAA action regarding Institutional Responsibility:
        Institution shall forfeit the contests it won in which SA
        participated while ineligible.  Additionally, this and other
        matters are being reviewed by the NCAA enforcement staff and
        will be submitted to the Committee n Infractions as a major or
        secondary case and imposition of appropriate penalties.
