The committee also levied a $2,500 fine and accepted USI's vacating of all the victories (27) during the 2008-09 season. No additional post-season bans were added past the GLVC-imposed penalty in 2009-10. "The University is glad to have this long process completed and now has the ability to move forward," said USI President Linda L.M. Bennett. "The Committee on Infractions and the NCAA investigators commended our extraordinary cooperation and praised our diligence in dealing with these violations." The report concluded that the University maintained "institutional control" and instituted corrective measures as soon as the violations were discovered. "It is nice to have this process completed and it gives our student-athletes and coaches the opportunity to move ahead," said USI Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall. "As I have stated in the past, integrity and compliance are two of the cornerstones of our program. We addressed these issues immediately and I feel that the committee recognized this."
