INDIANAPOLIS---The NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee has reprimanded Texas Christian University for a violation of tournament sportsmanship policy during the 2009 NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship.
The committee determined that members of the Texas Christian band made disparaging and inappropriate comments to both the game officials and student-athletes of a participating team during the first- and second-round games in Lubbock, Texas.
“The committee was very disappointed in the behavior by the TCU band and strongly believes that these acts compromised the integrity of the championship,” said Jacki Silar, chair of the Division I Women’s Basketball Committee and associate director of athletics for sports programs and senior woman administrator at Duke University.
