NCAA Infractions Case
UT Martin's Statement on NCAA Infractions Case - May 2, 2025
On May 2, 2025, the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions announced a negotiated resolution with UT Martin that stems from an infractions case from the spring of 2023 within the university's women's soccer and softball programs regarding grants in aid. As UT Martin worked alongside the NCAA to resolve this case, the university and the NCAA also uncovered additional recruiting violations that took place during the 2022-23 academic year in the softball program.
Employees who were primarily responsible for these violations are no longer associated with the university, and UT Martin has implemented new procedures for camps/clinics and in the financial aid space to ensure that future similar violations do not occur. Due to UT Martin's due diligence and cooperation, the infractions were adjusted to Level II-Mitigated violations.
Among UT Martin's penalties are a $25,000 fine; one year of probation; a reduction of one women's soccer scholarship for the 25-26 academic year; a two-week ban on softball recruiting activities during the 24-25 academic year; and a one-year show-cause order for Coach Farmer, including a five-game suspension served in February of 2025.
