"Athletics and academics are equal in priority," Evans said of Spetman's priorities for student athletes. Spetman's hiring of Guy is a good example of the emphasis put on academics, Evans said. "Guy is unparalleled in the football realm," Evans said. "He is adamant about his athletes doing well and excelling in the classroom." Success on the field and off was part of the majority of the fall sports programs. Volleyball had five players on the all-academic team and finished second in both the regular season and in the conference tournament while advancing to the NCAA tournament. The men's and women's cross country teams took first and second in the conference respectively as well as their nine total academic honorees. For the third straight year the Utah State women's soccer team earned the team academic award from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The team had a GPA of 3.42 which tied them for 42nd in the nation as a program. All teams who had a GPA of 3.0 or higher earned the team award. To go along with the teams success senior defender Liz Masson was named a NSCAA Regional Scholar Athlete. Masson was on the coaches association's third team and was named first team all-WAC for her play on the field. "We put a big emphasis on academic achievement in our program," head coach Heather Cairns said. "So for the girls to be recognized for this a great testament to how hard they work and how well they are able to balance the time demands of being a student-athlete." Besides continuing their academic success the Aggies advanced to the post season for the first time in the program's ten seasons of existence. Utah State tied for second in its first year in the WAC but lost in the first round of the conference tournament to Fresno State 2-1. -krn@cc.usu.edu WSU on probation NCAA to watch 'Cats for two years OGDEN, Utah (AP) - The NCAA placed Weber States athletic program on probation for two years Thursday for rules violations involving athletes using scholarship money to buy non-textbook items at the campus bookstore, the university said. Weber State discovered the violations after conducting an internal investigation and reported the infractions to the NCAA, the school said in a statement. In addition to probation, the NCAA has removed a football scholarship from the school for 2006-2007The school found 193 athletes, from all of its sports teams, used scholarship money to purchase items other than textbooks or course-related materials between 2001 and 2004-. The improper expenditures totaled $8,467, the school said. Of the total amount spent, about $3,747 was spent on school supplies such as pens or notebooks, while $4,720 was used to purchase personal items such as clothing, the school said. When the problem was discovered in summer 2004, the school said it took action by adding a code to the bookstore's computer system that would prevent the purchase of non-textbook items with scholarship funds. In fall 2004, all current athletes who made unauthorized purchases paid back nearly $3,000 to have their eligibility reinstated, the school said. The university's investigation found that employee turnover at the bookstore and a new computer system help allow the purchases to go through. Athletes also acknowledged spreading word among themselves that the prohibited purchases were going through without coaches or administrators finding out. "We regret the misstep, we've taken appropriate action, and we are moving on," Norm Tarbox, vice president of administrative services, said in a statement. In 1996, the Weber State men's basketball program was placed on a four-year probation by the NCAA and was stripped of two scholarships. The violations included coaches helping prospective recruits take and pay for correspondence courses so they could be eligible to enroll; coach Ron Abegglen allowing a prospective student-athlete to stay in his home for a couple of days and providing bail money for another; improperly giving an athlete financial aid; and a lack of institutional control by the university.
