Due to improper benefits violations, the Runnin' Rebels were placed on probation and banned from competing in the 1992 the Big West Conference Tournament and NCAA Tournament. UNLV was banned from live television, becoming the last basketball team, men's or women's, to receive this punishment. Two football teams, Auburn in 1993 and Ole Miss in 1995, were the last in any sport to be kept off of TV. Tarkanian resigned at the end of the season and was replaced by Villanova coach Rollie Massimino.
