BOLIVAR, Mo. (AP) — The NCAA has sanctioned the men's basketball team at Southwest Baptist University after an investigation found hundreds of impermissible text messages sent to prospective athletes.

Penalties include one year of probation, recruiting limitations, scholarship reductions and a two-conference-game suspension for the head coach, who was not identified in the NCAA's release.

The NCAA said Wednesday the coach sent 472 impermissible text messages to 29 prospective student-athletes and the parents of two prospective student-athletes. The NCAA said the head coach acknowledged he knew the rule and gained a recruiting advantage by texting the prospects.

Southwest Baptist athletics officials didn't immediately respond to phone or email messages from The Associated Press.

The NCAA noted that its Committee on Infractions was particularly concerned that the problems occurred after a previous text messaging violation.
