Monmouth failed to monitor its men’s tennis program and the conduct of the former head coach, according to a Division I Committee on Infractions panel. The former head coach failed to meet his responsibilities and did not promote an atmosphere of compliance based on his direct and personal involvement in recruiting inducements and practice prior to enrollment.
The former head coach directed the five student-athletes, who did not know the prospect until the former head coach introduced them, to house the prospect. The prospect paid a lower amount for rent and utilities than his housemates. Because of this, his housemates paid more living expenses than expected. Monmouth

A one-year show-cause period for the former head coach from Oct. 18, 2017, through Oct. 17, 2018. During
