YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (AP) — Youngstown State football has been placed on probation for two years and hit with recruiting sanctions by the NCAA.
The school and the NCAA agreed several rules violations were committed under former head coach Bo Pelini.
The school agreed it failed to monitor its football program when it permitted three football staff members to recruit off-campus without completing the coaches' certification test for the 2019-20 academic year.
Pelini left Youngstown State in 2019 for LSU, where he was defensive coordinator. He left that program last December.
