The NCAA put Creighton men's basketball program on two years' probation and docked scholarships each of the next two seasons on Tuesday, June 22, 2021, after alleging that a former assistant coach accepted cash from a management agency. The committee on infractions said Preston Murphy did not take any other action after the meeting in a Las Vegas hotel. But the meeting itself violated NCAA rules because the receipt of money formalized a business relationship in which the management company could attempt to use the coach to gain access to Creighton players.
