Ohio State Reports Minor NCAA Violations in Football Recruiting

The self-reported infractions involve impermissible contact and social media violations, leading to mild penalties and educational measures.

Ohio State football self-reported four minor, Level III violations to the NCAA since last summer, involving issues like impermissible contact with a transfer and providing a photo edit to a recruit.
The violations, considered isolated or limited in nature, resulted in mild penalties, including a suspension of recruiting activities for a week and a reduction in in-person days and official visits.
One of the violations involved wide receivers coach Brian Hartline providing a photo edit to the legal guardian of recruit Chris Henry Jr., leading to a temporary ban on sending recruiting materials.
Two unnamed boosters took a photo with a recruit and shared it on social media, leading to education for the boosters and a penalty of eliminating two person recruiting days for Ohio State.
A staff member's social media comment on a transfer's announcement led to the deletion of the post and education on NCAA rules regarding public comments about recruits.
