The NCAA accused South Carolina athletes of receiving $47,000 in impermissible benefits for staying at a hotel near campus for reduced rates. South Carolina also was accused of receiving $8,000 in improper inducements from a mentoring group out of Delaware.
South Carolina agreed in its response to the NCAA in December that major rules violations did take place.
The school said it will reduce football scholarships by one in 2012-13, by three in 2013-14 and by two in 2014-15. The football team will reduce its official visits from 56 to 30 in 2012-2013.
