Connecticut, which had a four-year score of 889 and a two-year score of 902, must replace four hours of practice time with academic activities each week.
Also banned were Championship Subdivision teams Hampton, North Carolina A&T and Texas Southern in football; Central Connecticut State in men's soccer; and Northern Colorado in men's wrestling.
In all, 54 teams fell below the 900 mark with roughly 80 percent (43) of them coming from what the NCAA defines as limited-resource schools.
