Seven possible violations, all under Kyle Flood's watch.

The NCAA charges that Flood provided former cornerback Nadir Barnwell with an impermissible extra benefit by directly contacting a professor seeking special consideration for Barnwell in an academic course relating to the 2014-2015 academic year. In addition, it's believed that Flood is charged with failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance in the football program, violating the principles of NCAA head coach responsibility legislation.

`Sources say the entire Rutgers case has been given an initial Level II designation by the NCAA enforcement staff in its four-level violation structure.

Level 2 violations -- which are considered less serious than Level 1 -- are defined by the NCAA as "violations that provide or are intended to provide more than a minimal but less than a substantial or extensive recruiting, competitive or other advantage...`

My reading of this: It would be a Level 1 violation if Rutgers had actually won more games as a result.
