In a “Notice of Allegations” delivered to the University of Hawaii Friday, the NCAA is charging the men’s basketball program with multiple Level I and II violations, the most severe of four categories, people involved told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser.

UH officials have begun notifying affected coaches and others, some of whom are said to have received their own notices from the NCAA.

UH and the named parties will have 90 days in which to contest the allegations and may request a hearing before sanctions are levied. 

The notice, which has not been released to the public, came on the eve of the Rainbow Warriors’ game at Long Beach State Saturday, where head coach Benjy Taylor was notified.

UH had been awaiting the notice of allegations since late November.

The NCAA classifies Level I violations as “severe breach of conduct” while Level II are listed as “significant breach of conduct.” Violations, if upheld, may be punishable by a postseason ban, scholarship reductions, suspensions, limits of practice or other sanctions. 

The apparent impetus for the investigation was a Jan. 9, 2014, incident in which UH reported that “a men’s basketball coach submitted an altered document that was essential for admissions purposes.”

The NCAA first dispatched an investigator to UH in March. Subsequently more than 25 players, former players, coaches and administrators and at least one fan were interviewed through October. Some were interviewed on multiple occasions.

Head coach Gib Arnold and assistant Brandyn Akana were dismissed “without cause” by UH Oct. 28. The team also suspended star player, All-Big West pick Isaac Fotu, who subsequently left UH and signed a pro contract to play in Spain.

NCAA officials were not immediately available for comment.
