University of Illinois officials, contacted about a published report detailing penalties for alleged NCAA rules violations, said the NCAA has not been in touch with them.

The Chicago Sun-Times, quoting an unidentified source, reported that the school might be put on probation for minor rule violations in its basketball program and face a one-year ban on postseason tournament play and television appearances.

Illinois coaches allegedly offered money and cars to two recruits.
