“It was student-on-student cheating,” Kelly said. “The NCAA agreed with that finding. It was clearly excessive.” Kelly said he felt he had no culpability in the matter.

a student athletic trainer committed academic misconduct on behalf of multiple football players. The program will appeal the punishment.
The NCAA announced its findings and the penalties on Tuesday. The trainer was found to be in violation of ethical conduct rules after committing misconduct by completing coursework for two student-athletes and providing impermissible academic benefits to six others. Another student athlete was found to have committed academic misconduct on his own.
I guess he's right, it's not like he told the trainer to get up in a scissor lift during a wind storm
