The NCAA has announced sanctions against the University of North Dakota football program and has permanently banned four former Alabama State basketball players following investigations into illegal recruitment and game-fixing.

NCAA 宣布對北達科他大學足球隊採取制裁，並在針對非法招募與操縱比賽的調查後，永久禁賽四名原阿拉巴馬州立大學的籃球員。

Regarding the University of North Dakota, the NCAA found that assistant coach Travis Stepps committed 'Level II' violations. Specifically, he contacted a student-athlete who had not yet officially entered the transfer portal. The university's compliance office discovered the issue after receiving the athlete's academic records and immediately reported it to the NCAA. Although head coach Eric Schmidt was mentioned in the report, the NCAA decided not to punish him personally because he had encouraged a culture of following the rules. Consequently, the university must pay a $25,000 fine and will be on probation for one year, with certain recruiting restrictions for the 2026-27 academic year. Coach Stepps received a one-game suspension and a one-year 'show-cause' order.

關於北達科他大學，NCAA 發現助理教練 Travis Stepps 犯下了「第二級」違規。具體而言，他接觸了一名尚未正式進入轉會名單的學生運動員。大學的合規辦公室在收到該運動員的成績單後發現了此問題，並立即向 NCAA 舉報。雖然主教練 Eric Schmidt 在報告中被提及，但 NCAA 決定不對其個人處罰，因為他一直鼓勵建立遵守規則的文化。因此，該大學必須支付 25,000 美元罰金，並將被處以一年緩刑，且在 2026-27 學年將有某些招募限制。Stepps 教練被停賽一場，並收到為期一年的「說明原因」令。

Furthermore, the NCAA dealt with a serious integrity breach involving the 2024-25 Alabama State men's basketball team. Four players—Amarr Knox, Tony Madlock, Corey Hines, and Shawn Fulcher—are now permanently ineligible to play. The investigation revealed that they accepted $2,000 from outside bettors to change the result of a game against Southern Miss on December 5, 2024. The players used group chats and FaceTime to organize the plan. This case also involved federal law enforcement, as the U.S. Attorney's Office indicted the bettors for bribery and wire fraud. The NCAA discovered the scheme after Temple University shared information following an FBI investigation into Corey Hines.

此外，NCAA 處理了一起涉及 2024-25 年阿拉巴馬州立大學男子籃球隊的嚴重誠信失信事件。四名球員——Amarr Knox, Tony Madlock, Corey Hines 與 Shawn Fulcher——現已被永久取消參賽資格。調查顯示，他們接受了外部博彩者 2,000 美元，以改變 2024 年 12 月 5 日對陣南密西西比大學的比賽結果。這些球員利用群組對話和 FaceTime 來組織計劃。此案還涉及聯邦執法部門，美國檢察官辦公室以賄賂和電信欺詐起訴了相關博彩者。NCAA 在天普大學分享了 FBI 對 Corey Hines 調查的資訊後，才發現此計劃。

In conclusion, the NCAA has finished these cases by imposing financial penalties on North Dakota and issuing permanent bans to the Alabama State athletes.

總結來說，NCAA 透過對北達科他大學處以財政處罰，以及對阿拉巴馬州立大學運動員發布永久禁令，結案了這些事件。
