 During this time an NCAA investigation was also underway. Ultimately, it revealed that Minnesota was guilty of massive violations under Haskins'watch. The NCAA stripped the Gophers of all postseason awards, titles, personal records, and statistics dating back to the 1993 – 94 season citing a "lack of institutional control." Haskins was also slapped with a seven-year "show-cause" order, which effectively banned him from coaching at any level in the NCAA until 2007. Besides lying about the $ 3,000 payment, he had also told several of his players to lie to the NCAA. Later, the Big Ten forced the Gophers to vacate their 1997 conference title, as well as all regular season games dating to 1993 – 94. As a result, Minnesota's official record from 1993 – 94 to 1998 – 99 is 0 – 0. If not for the vacated games, Haskins would be the second-winningest coach in school history.
