Nebraska women's gymnastics committed NCAA violations under former coach Dan Kendig
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 head 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-case, and the volunteer coach — who was not named in the report — received a two-year show cause.
