Temple University said it would forfeit the six games it won in the 1986 season with star running back Paul Palmer, who has admitted violating his eligibility by accepting payments from and signing a contract with a sports agent.

The university also withdrew the athletic prizes and awards given to Palmer during that period, Temple President Peter J. Liacouras said in a statement. The school also said Palmer is to repay his scholarship from his senior year, a stipulation already agreed to by Palmer’s attorney.

Palmer, a running back with the Kansas City Chiefs, admitted last week to accepting monthly payments and a $5,000 loan from two sports agents who are now under federal investigation.

NCAA Director of Enforcement David Berst has said the school would not be disciplined by the NCAA unless someone with the school knew he had taken the money.
