West Texas A&M head coach penalized for NCAA recruiting violations

West Texas A&M head coach Josh Lynn faces repercussions from three recruiting violations the NCAA categorized as major. The violations occurred between August 2021 and August 2022, when Lynn was head coach at Nebraska-Kearney (UNK). According to a negotiated resolution on January 29, the Committee on Infractions penalized Lynn and two former assistant coaches for the Lopes and UNK.

According to the resolution, WT self-reported an infraction to the NCAA secondary/Level III enforcement staff in the summer of 2023. The Buffs compliance found that Lynn and the coaching staff provided one-way airfare to a prospective student-athlete for an official visit.
