Jurisprudence

Two University of Virginia athletic department employees were fired and a third was forced to retire because of NCAA rules violations involving no-interest loans to athletes.

Many of the loans were made while NCAA Executive Director Dick Schultz was Virginia’s athletic director. Although the report said there was no proof that Schultz knew about the loans, it said he should have known.

The report said that, from 1982 to 1990, 30 student-athletes received 45 loans totaling $14,948.98 for purposes ranging from health insurance to, in one case, an abortion for an athlete’s girlfriend.

Schultz was athletic director from 1981 to 1987.
