The NCAA placed Louisiana State’s football team on one-year probation for 12 recruiting violations but allowed the team to retain television rights and postseason bowl privileges. Assistant football coach Terry Lewis was also banned from off-campus recruting for one year. A two-year investigation of LSU’s football program resulted in 26 allegations of wrongdoing. Those were reduced to 12 after university officials appeared at an NCAA hearing in Colorado Springs, Colo., last month.
