Former University of Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon was disciplined by the NCAA for his involvement in a gambling scandal that led to his firing last April.

The NCAA said in a statement that Bohannon “violated the NCAA's Gambling and Ethical Conduct Rules when he knowingly provided information to individuals he knew were betting on Alabama baseball games.”

As a result, Bohannon was sentenced to a 15-year show warrant by the NCAA. That means if a team wants to hire him for the next 15 years, he will be suspended for the first five years of his employment.

The NCAA also fined the university $5,000 and placed the program on probation for five years.

“The integrity of the game is of paramount importance to NCAA members, and the committee is deeply troubled by Bohannon's unethical conduct,” Chief Hearing Officer Vince Nicatoro said.

“Coaches, student-athletes, and administrators have access to information that we deem valuable to those involved in betting. We expect our members to refrain from inappropriately sharing that information for sports betting purposes.” It violates the very core of integrity and sportsmanship, and is especially egregious when shared by people who have the ability to influence the outcome of a game.”
