The probationary period will last three years, ending November 24, 2011.

According to a report released from the committee, per the probation the University must create a "comprehensive educational program on NCAA legislation."

This includes seminars and testing to instruct all athletics department personnel and University staff members "with responsibility for the certification of student-athletes for admission, retention, financial aid or competition."

The University must also submit a report to the committee by February 1, 2009, "setting forth a schedule for establishing this compliance and educational program."

In each year of their probation the University will have to provide annual compliance reports, demonstrating the progress of the programs.
