Columbia, Mo. ? Missouri basketball coach Quin Snyder occasionally, but unintentionally, violated NCAA rules, the university said in a formal response to NCAA allegations. The response included a firm denial Snyder’s former top assistant gave a player $250 cash.

“There was no specific intent to violate any rules in the men’s basketball program,” the university said in the thick stack of responses, which arrived Thursday at NCAA headquarters and were publicly posted Friday afternoon on the school’s Web site.

The university accepted that the NCAA’s infractions committee had enough evidence to uphold most of the allegations related to recruiting and thus they will not be challenged — even as the school asserted most violations were unintentional, and in all cases qualified as secondary violations, not major ones.

The university added that it had “self-reported” most of the recruiting violations and had already imposed “appropriate, meaningful sanctions,” such as making Snyder and current and former basketball staff members sit out recruiting for specified periods.

It specifically challenged the allegation that former associate head coach Tony Harvey gave troubled ex-player Ricky Clemons $250 in cash. The school said the allegation is based on financial records that don’t prove the supposed transaction. Indeed, Missouri said, “the evidence to the contrary is compelling.”
