University of Wisconsin Shoe Box Scandal

2000 – Madison, WI
After 157 athletes in 14 sports were found guilty of NCAA violations by receiving extra benefits at The Shoe Box, a discount shoe store in Black Earth, the university fined itself $150,000 and placed itself on three years' probation, requiring it to report to the NCAA annually.

A rule was later instituted banning all UW-Madison athletes, coaches and athletic administrators from shopping at The Shoe Box.
