The Pacific 10 Conference has reprimanded the University of Arizona for NCAA rules violations that occurred earlier this year in the school’s book-loan program for athletes.

The university declared 40 student-athletes ineligible in April because they had allegedly sold or given away books they had obtained free from the school.

Eligibility was restored by the NCAA to 31 of the athletes when they repaid the school for the books. The nine others are required to miss the first subsequent contest in their sports.
