(AP) The NCAA placed Clemson's football program on one year's probation Thursday after an investigation found that a coach and booster gave money to players, but the Tigers dodged serious sanctions that could have included a ban on postseason and television appearances. The NCAA Committee on Infractions found that on at least two occasions in the fall of 1985 an athlete received and distributed cash payments from a coach of $50 to $70 to another player. The committee also determined that in the spring of 1987, the athlete received $50 in cash from a booster.

Under NCAA guidelines, Clemson could have been placed on two years' probation and been barred for a year from bowl game and television appearances. The program could also have faced possible reduction in grant-in-aids and restrictions on off-campus recruiting. The committee said it did not levy the minium urn penalties called for by NCAA policy because there were only two major violations, and they were limited in nature. The committee also found no pattern of violations. Moreover, the committee found the violations did not occur because of a lack of institutional control and also said the university cooperated with the NCAA in its investigation.
