Auburn self-reported 33 NCAA secondary violations over the past two academic years, records provided to AL.com show.

The Auburn athletic department reported 16 secondary violations in 2014-15 and 17 in 2015-16, according to records provided to AL.com in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

The most serious violation occurred in 2015-16, when a women's basketball assistant coach provided $150 to a player when "her family had a financial hardship." The player was declared ineligible until she was reinstated by the NCAA and the coach was placed on administrative leave and eventually resigned, records show. Given that circumstance and two of three Auburn assistant women's basketball coaches returned from last season, the coach in question appears to be Sherill Baker, who is now at Kennesaw State.

Nearly all of the other violations involved impermissible communication between coaches, assistant coaches or other employees and recruits or their families, most of which was inadvertent or a form not permitted, such as text message, versus one that is (e-mail).

The Auburn football program committed three secondary violations in 2014-15 and four in 2015-16, most of any sport in the athletic department.

The nature of the violations by the football program in 2014-15 were regarding communication, with two of the three involving an assistant coach sending a text message, which is not permitted, rather than an email, which is allowed, in the course of recruiting. Both of these violations occurred the weekend before National Signing Day in 2015, meaning the punishment imposed - prohibiting the coach in question from phone contact with any recruit for 14 days and with the recruit in question or 30 days - may have been meaningless.

In 2015-16, the football program's violations were for a now former assistant coach making two calls to a recruit, who since enrolled elsewhere, during a week, a former football player having a "brief encounter" with a recruit during an unofficial visit and a graduate assistant in the recruiting office posting a message on Facebook encouraging fans to wish a recruit happy birthday. The penalties for all three involved admonishment and education as to policy.

The men's basketball program committed three violations in 2014-15 and two in 2015-16.

The violations in 2014-15 involved a tweet of a picture of a camp that showed recruit in the foreground, which was later deleted, the university's College of Engineering retweeting a recruiting article and a youth basketball team using an on-campus facility, for which a waiver was granted by the NCAA.

In 2015-16, the men's basketball violations were for an assistant coach returning a phone call, which lasted for 14 seconds, from an unknown number that belonged to a high school sophomore and Bryce Brown playing in more than one approved summer league, for which he was suspended for the season opener.

Women's basketball committed two violations in each of the past two years and women's soccer committed one in 2014-15 and three in 2015-16.

For women's basketball in 2014-15, the violations involved having too many male practice players for the amount of women's players during one individual workout and an inadvertent phone call to the mother of a sophomore recruit.
