The University of Georgia men's basketball team will be monitored for the next four years due to violations that occurred under former coach Jim Harrick. The team's infractions include cheating on exams, unethical behavior, and financial misconduct. The NCAA, the governing body for college sports in the United States, refrained from imposing a ban on the team from participating in competitions for the upcoming year because university officials had already imposed penalties on the team, such as not participating in two major tournaments last season. The university's athletic department will be under NCAA scrutiny for the next five years. If any infraction occurs within the Georgia athletic programs before April 2009, it could lead to more severe penalties. The University of Georgia plans to appeal the ruling regarding these sanctions, particularly the loss of a basketball scholarship for the next three seasons.
