Former Nebraska women’s gymnastics coach Dan Kendig and members of the program were found to have committed NCAA violations when they arranged for a former volunteer coach to receive impermissible compensation, according to the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions.

The volunteer coach was paid by student-athletes for floor exercise choreography and by the university for floor exercise music, according to the NCAA. Kendig coordinated with the volunteer coach to submit invoices for the music from a fictitious company.

Kendig resigned as Nebraska’s coach in October 2018 after he was approached by NU athletic department officials regarding compliance concerns.

As a result of the violations, the women’s gymnastics program received two years’ probation and a $5,000 fine plus 1% of the program’s budget. Kendig received a three-year show-cause penalty, and the volunteer coach — who was not named in the report — received a two-year show-cause.

Heather Brink, a former Husker gymnast, replaced Kendig in an interim role after his resignation and became the permanent coach in February 2019.
