Noteworthy is the first TV ban issued by the NCAA since 1996, which includes live and delayed TV and Internet broadcasts. They were hit with 'lack of institutional control' and lost some schollies (they'll be at 32 for the next 2 years, the Div. II limit is 36).
Coach Chuck Langston (already fired by the school) was given a two-year "show cause" penalty, which makes it difficult for him to be hired by a college. Most of the violations relaated to illegal benefits to recruits from Trinity Valley (Texas) CC, where he used to coach; including a surgery performed on one guy that later enrolled at Central Oklahoma.
