Southern California's football program has been fined 50,000 and placed on probation for one year by the NCAA because of multiple violations of coaching staff rules over two seasons.
The NCAA and USC announced Tuesday that they reached a settlement in the case.
An NCAA investigation found that USC exceeded the allowed number of countable coaches during the 2022 season and during spring practices in 2023. Eight analysts did on- and off-field coaching during that period, exceeding the permissible number by six.
Both parties also agreed Lincoln Riley violated head coach responsibility rules but that he would not be suspended.
The NCAA changed its rules restricting the number of coaches and their duties in January 2023.
