St. Scholastica was penalized Wednesday by the NCAA Division III Committee on Infractions at the conclusion of its investigation of former Saints men's hockey coach Kevin Moore.
The NCAA found that Moore provided impermissible benefits for three international student-athletes in the form of loans for off-campus housing and a free meal. He also attended voluntary athletic activities that coaches are prohibited from attending.
Penalties the private school in Duluth received for those violations included two years of probation in men's hockey, a $2,500 fine, a public reprimand and censure.
St. Scholastica, which joined the MIAC this school year, also must undergo an outside audit of its athletics policies.
