- The NCAA ordered the team to vacate 14 wins from 2022-24 due to three ineligible student-athletes, imposed a $30,000 fine plus 1.5% of the football program budget, and issued multi-year show-cause orders for Saeed Khalif, Brandon Jordan, and Mel Tucker.

- The Division 1 Committee on Infractions said, `'This case illustrates some of the inherent risks in utilizing an NFL-style organizational model...without sufficient oversight and engagement by the head coach,'` as three ineligible student-athletes competed in 26 games, and the program failed to monitor effectively.
