The former Air Force men's golf head coach violated NCAA rules when he knowingly participated in impermissible sports wagering, including placing bets on the football program at Air Force, according to an agreement released by the Division I Committee on Infractions. An additional recruiting violation occurred in the men's ice hockey program, when two assistant coaches had recruiting conversations with a potential transfer student-athlete who had not yet entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.

The school, enforcement staff and former men's golf head coach agreed the violations occurred when the coach created an account for an online sports wagering program using his then girlfriend's identification information because he knew NCAA rules prohibited participating in wagering on sports (at any level) that the NCAA sponsors. Over the course of four months, he wagered $9,259 on 253 occasions — including both professional and college sports — using that account. Of those wagers, 107 were on NCAA events, including six Air Force football games.
