The report, which was posted Thursday on the UA's athletic compliance website, outlines 31 violations in 11 sports from July 1, 2012, to the end of June this year, with seven violations in football and eight in swimming and diving.
Pannunzio, who is identified only as a "staff member" in UA's violations listing, was also required to attend an NCAA rules seminar and prohibited from recruiting communications for 90 days for providing "impermissible benefits to a prospect and his family" and introducing the prospect to a booster while Pannunzio was at Miami.
According to a 2011 report by Yahoo, Pannunzio facilitated a meeting between recruit Matt Patchen and booster Nevin Shapiro at Shapiro's Miami Beach mansion. The report also cites phone records that show 422 text messages between Pannunzio and Shapiro between 2006 and 2010, when Pannunzio was tight ends coach and special teams coordinator for the Hurricanes.
Alabama did not independently investigate the Yahoo allegations against Pannunzio, The Tuscaloosa News has learned. The salary freeze, lack of contract extension, rules education and prohibition against recruiting contact were levied based on the allegations in the Yahoo report. Pannunzio, who has a $170,000 annual salary, was not named in the NCAA's official Notice of Allegations against Miami.
Yahoo also reported that Jeff Stoutland, Alabama's offensive line coach for the past two seasons, was present at the meeting between Patchen and Shaprio. Stoutland, Miami's offensive line coach from 2007-10, took a job with the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League after last season.
One violation involved a swimming team assistant coach posting bond for a swimmer who had been arrested. The coach was ultimately fired over the offense, The Tuscaloosa News has learned.
Other secondary football violations were:
* A player's name was involved in promoting his start-up business. The player was declared ineligible and reinstated.
* A coach exceeded the permissible number of phone calls within a week to a prospect. The coach received a letter of admonishment and was restricted from calling prospects for two weeks.
* A prospect was mailed a recruiting letter prior to the permissible date. UA restricted itself from sending recruiting material to the prospect for 60 days.
* The coaching staff exceeded the permissible number of off-campus contacts with a recruit. The coaches involved were held out of the spring evaluation period for a week and UA reduced its number of recruiting person days in the spring from 168 to 162.
* A first-year junior college player was allowed an unofficial visit. Alabama dropped recruiting activity with the prospect.
* Some football players received impermissible meals. They were declared ineligible and reinstated after donating the value of the meals to charity.
Alabama's track and rowing teams each had three secondary violations. Gymnastics, women's basketball and men's basketball each had two. Cross country, men's golf, volleyball and softball had one violation each. Eight of the violations involved text messages or Twitter, and several others were for sending emails to recruits at impermissible times.
