'Inadvertent errors' Colorado, ex-coach Neuheisel admit 40 secondary violationsPosted: Saturday July 20, 2002 2:33 PMUpdated: Saturday July 20, 2002 8:29 PM
SEATTLE (AP) -- Washington football coach Rick Neuheisel, the subject of an NCAA probe of recruiting at Colorado, apologized to an NCAA committee for any "inadvertent errors." Neuheisel, Colorado's coach from 1995-98, also said he has voluntarily limited his own off-campus recruiting for Washington. Neuheisel and Colorado responded in June to the NCAA investigation, which alleged 51 recruiting rules violations. The university released both responses Friday. Neuheisel acknowledged some secondary violations and said neither he nor any members of his staff at Colorado intentionally broke NCAA rules. "If errors were made, they were inadvertent, and I apologize for that," he wrote. Neuheisel said he voluntarily visited only one high school player during evaluations of potential recruits in May and "refrained from all [other] visits and evaluation activities." He also said he will attend a regional NCAA compliance seminar next year. Colorado acknowledged 40 secondary violations, most of them
improper contacts with recruits and violations of apparel policies.
The NCAA did not allege major violations, but maintained that the
secondary violations demonstrated a lack of institutional control.
