Georgia Receives Notice of Allegations from NCAA

The University of Georgia received on Wednesday, April 2, a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA regarding its men’s swimming and diving program.

"While I am disappointed about the Notice of Allegations, I am proud of the Athletic Department's response to this matter," UGA President Jere W. Morehead said. "The University of Georgia takes its compliance obligations seriously. We have cooperated fully with the NCAA throughout the investigation, and we will continue to do so in order to bring the matter to an appropriate conclusion."

"Allegations of this nature are extremely disappointing and we will continue to fully cooperate with the NCAA staff on this matter," J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Greg McGarity said. "Until this matter has concluded, head swimming and diving coach Jack Bauerle will be suspended from all job-related responsibilities effective immediately."

UGA Senior Associate Head Coach Harvey Humphries will serve as Acting Head Coach until the allegations are resolved.

In accordance with NCAA procedures, the institution has 90 days in which to respond to the allegations. The NCAA enforcement staff has 60 days in which to review the institution's response and make a final report to the Committee on Infractions. After completion of that report, a Georgia delegation will be required to appear before the Committee.

A copy of the Notice of Allegations (with redactions to protect information required to be withheld pursuant to the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) and copies of the transmittal letters from the NCAA are being released along with this statement.

As this is an ongoing matter, there will be no further public comment by University representatives until this process is complete.
