— The NCAA Committee on Infractions levied sanctions against North Carolina Central University Wednesday for failing to properly monitor its academic certification process.

The NCAA says NC Central miscertified 22 student-athletes in seven sports from 2012-13 through 2014-15.

The school will vacate four seasons of football results from 2012 to 2016 and 16 men's basketball wins from the 2012-13 season. The 2014 and 2015 football squads were co-MEAC champions.

According to the COI report, the improper certifications came from a "single, but repeated, error of counting foundational courses toward student-athletes’ percentage-of-degree completion."

NC Central said Wednesday the errors were unintentional and included mistakes in men's and women's cross country, track and field, baseball, men's basketball and football. The university self-reported violations after discovering the mistakes in September 2016, officials said.

The NCAA handed down the following punishments:

Two years of probation, from May 30, 2018, through May 29, 2020

Removal of any records achieved in which student-athlete competitors were ineligible

Attendance at NCAA Regional Rules Seminars

Completion of an internal academic audit by the end of the 2017-18 academic year (self-imposed)

A $5,000 fine (self-imposed)

North Carolina Central said it plans to appeal the COI decision.
