Tampering violations occurred in the Iowa football program when current football head coach Kirk Ferentz and assistant coach Jon Budmayr had impermissible contacts with a student-athlete who was enrolled at another NCAA school at the time and who had not yet entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to a decision released by a Division I Committee on Infractions hearing panel. Budmayr also communicated with the student-athlete's parent before the student-athlete entered the Transfer Portal. Ferentz previously agreed that he also violated head coach responsibility rules due to his awareness of and personal involvement in the violations.
