Texas Officials Say NCAA Will Not Penalize School

The NCAA will take no action against the University of Texas, based on the school’s investigation into allegations of gambling by its student-athletes.

According to school officials, the NCAA said the investigation had turned up “minor violations” and that no penalty would be assessed and no players declared ineligible.

The Austin American-Statesman reported last winter that as many as 40 Texas athletes--most of them football players--said that they regularly bet on college and professional sports. The players said they bet $2 to $100 on such games, according to reports.
