Violations

They don’t happen much these days, is it because the NCAA got rid of some of their restrictions? Or is it because self-reporting is reported and swept under the rug?

Not sure that is true. Based on the NCAA records, there has been a slight decline in the past 18 months in D1 schools found guilty of major violations. But 2016-17 had a much higher number of violations than any other years going back at least a decade. If 2019 is the start of a decline, it will be due to harsher punishments directed at coaches, more smoking guns due to cell phones/texts/etc, more money at stake for the D1 programs, and better enforcement agents.

Here are the number of D1 major violations per year - for all sports - as reported by the NCAA for the last decade:

2019 (six months) 8
2018 15
2017 20
2016 23
2015 13
2014 8
2013 9
2012 10
2011 15
2010 14
2009 13


Note: Each violation shown above represents one school that got nailed. It often was for multiple sports however.

Well this young man was yelled at for rooting for his high school team. Some kind of desperado, huh? Glad to see the NCAA is catching all those rogue rooters

I had the same reaction but to be literal in this instance, it was UT that caught their own rogue coach. But why giving a shout out to your alma mater, or congratulating any high school team for that matter, is even considered a problem is problematic in the first place.

This is a Level III violation, which is extremely minor and not even worth talking about. However coaches don't want rival coaches to be constantly praising HS teams or coaches, because then they feel they have to also do it to keep up with their opponents. Many of these things end up turning into a time-consuming war between teams recruiting a given player. Most NCAA rules were recommended by the coaches in the first place, often to simply keep a bit of sanity in the recruiting process.

Note that the headline of the article appears to be wrong, since it doesn't appear that he was "disciplined" in any way.
