South Carolina self reports NCAA violation for 'impermissible iced decorations on a cookie cake'

South Carolina reported 22 secondary violations for the past year.

The infractions occurred between Aug. 1, 2013 and July 31, 2014, including seven which were committed by the football team, the only sport to report multiple infractions.

Each of the infractions was classified as secondary, the least serious category when it comes to breaking NCAA rules, though The Associated Press got its hands on a list of the infractions, and some are certainly worth re-visiting, if only for their comedic value.

One infraction from last winter involved impermissible iced decorations on a cookie cakes given to prospects.

Another occurred when the team laid out trophies and jerseys on a table inside the locker room, which is against NCAA rules since trophies aren't generally in locker rooms.

A football violation took place when a prospect attended spring practice and took a picture with a former South Carolina player currently in the NFL. NCAA rules say the coaching staff should not have allowed the prospective player to interact with the former Gamecock.

There was also a violation when a prospect wore a non-personalized jersey onto South Carolina's football field to take a picture to post on Twitter for his commitment announcement to the Gamecocks.

A photo of the cake in question was tweeted out by Michael Scarnecchia, who later deleted the tweet.

The Gamecocks open their season on Aug. 28 against Texas A&M. It's unlikely they'll be seeing any cookie cakes between now and then.
