Report: Alabama self-reports 13 secondary NCAA violations across various sports

Alabama self-reported 13 secondary NCAA rules violations, according to a report obtained by AL.com's Matt Zenitz.

The violations occurred in six different sports, with five violations attributed to football, and one involving men's basketball and Crimson Tide Productions.

According to the report, one football player was declared ineligible after receiving aid and practicing with the team. AL.com linked this instance to four-star freshman running back DeSherrius Flowers, who was ruled ineligible in June after an eligibility issue was uncovered.

Another football player was declared ineligible and subsequently reinstated by the NCAA after receiving an "over-award of scholarship money," according to the report. The Times Daily's Alex Byington identified this as an infraction by former linebacker Trey DePriest, who missed the 2014-15 season opener due to what head coach Nick Saban called a "minor NCAA infraction."

Other infractions by the football program include:

• A player's friend selling complimentary tickets given to her - the player was declared ineligible and then reinstated by the NCAA
• A player using social media to promote/endorse a commercial product resulting in the entire team and staff attending rules education
• An assistant coach answering a text message from a recruit - Alabama was banned from making contact with the recruit for 30 days

The men's basketball program and Crimson Tide Productions staff violated NCAA recruiting rules by using a recruit's image to create a personalized recruiting aid. The entire staff attended rules education.

The other sports involved in the minor rules infractions are rowing, swimming/diving, track & field, and women's soccer.
