UConn self reports secondary violation in Maya Moore recruiting

AP

STORRS, Conn. (AP) - The University of Connecticut said it
self-reported a secondary violation of NCAA rules involving the
recruiting of basketball player Maya Moore.

The violation occurred in 2005, when the women's basketball
office arranged for Moore to tour the studios of ESPN in Bristol.
It was first reported last week by ESPN.

The school says it learned of the violation last year, and
recently completed a review of the all the facts, resulting in the
school reporting it to the NCAA. The school did not say when that
report was made.

The NCAA defines a secondary violation as one that is
inadvertent in nature or doesn't represent a significant
competitive advantage.

Penalties are usually minor, and can include a letter in the school's file.

School officials said Wednesday that UConn and the NCAA "now
consider this matter closed."

Jennifer Kearns, a spokeswoman for the NCAA, says the
association does not comment on secondary violations.
