Wiltjer Falls Prey to NCAA Violation

MEN'S BASKETBALL

Date: Jan. 27, 1983

Principal figure: Marv Harshman, former basketball coach

Allegations: In May 1980, a representative of the UW's athletic interests (booster) provided a prospective recruit - Greg Wiltjer - with a travel bag at no cost to the recruit. In July 1980, an assistant basketball coach gave two pairs of basketball shoes to the same recruit. In August 1980, a former assistant basketball coach arranged for the same recruit to receive lodging at the home of a UW booster.

Conference action: Conducted an investigation and determined the UW had committed three recruiting violations. The Pac-10 turned over its findings to the NCAA.

NCAA action: Although the violations were limited in nature and involved only one prospect, the NCAA Council found the UW had received a "recruiting advantage."

NCAA penalties: Publicly reprimanded and censured the UW and admonished the school to avoid a recurrence of similar violations. The NCAA did not place the UW on probation, nor did it ban the UW from postseason play or issue TV sanctions.

Fallout: Negligible for the UW. Wiltjer later opted to attend the University of Oregon. "The violations are a matter of serious concern to me," said head coach Marv Harshman. "We regret very much that they occurred."
