provided during the internships were major infractions were deemed Level I (major infractions) per the NCAA report.
Here's a quote from the introduction:
A representative of the institution's athletics interests had impermissible recruiting contacts with a men's basketball prospective student-athlete and provided impermissible inducements and extra benefits to other men's basketball student-athletes. Additionally, a different representative of the institution's athletics interests provided impermissible benefits to men's basketball student-athletes when he provided discounted room rates at a resort to student-athletes and provided free meals to three members of one student-athlete’s family. The institution also failed to monitor the men's basketball program. As a result, several men's basketball student-athletes competed while ineligible during the 2013-14 season.
And:
The sum of the impermissible inducements and extra benefits amounted to $10,436. The parties agreed and the panel concludes that these violations are Level I.
The internships originated, and the first year occurred, under Haith's tenure as head coach.
