Former Nebraska women’s gymnastics coach Dan Kendig and members of the program were found to have committed NCAA violations when they arranged for a former volunteer coach to receive impermissible compensation. That according to a decision announced by the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions Tuesday. According to the NCAA report a volunteer coach was paid by student-athletes for floor exercise choreography and by the university for floor exercise music. Kendig coordinated with the volunteer coach to submit invoices for the music from a fictitious company. Kendig resigned as Nebraska’s head coach in October 2018 after he was approached by NU athletic department officials regarding compliance concerns. As a result of the violations, the women’s gymnastics program received two years probation and a $5,000 fine plus 1% of the program’s budget. Kendig received a three-year show-cause, and the volunteer coach — who was not named in the report — received a two-year show cause. Heather Brink, a former Husker gymnast, replaced Kendig in an interim role after his resignation and became the permanent head coach in February 2019.
