"NCAA Hits ASU Football with Probation and Scholarship Reductions for Recruiting Violations Under Herm Edwards"

Former Arizona State football coach Herm Edwards has been issued a three-year "show cause" order by the NCAA for his involvement in recruiting violations, meaning any school that hires him will have to justify why they should not be sanctioned. The violations stemmed from meetings with over 30 high-school recruits during the COVID-19 "dead" period, leading to Arizona State being ordered to vacate 10 wins from 2021 and 2022. Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, also under investigation, could face a similar penalty, while Edwards has returned to ESPN after leaving Arizona State.

The violations included ignoring COVID-19 recruiting dead period restrictions, offering inducements, impermissible tryouts, and tampering. The NCAA did not name individuals or provide specific punishments, but former defensive coordinator Antonio Pierce, purportedly the ringleader, left the program and is now the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. Arizona State's cooperation was praised, and the school disassociated from a booster for five years.
