ATHENS -- The NCAA has sanctioned Georgia swimming coach Jack Bauerle for rules violations involving a star athlete, but he will be returning to the program he led to national prominence.<br />
<br />
In a ruling Tuesday, the Division I infractions committee said Bauerle "did not promote an atmosphere for compliance" when he made special arrangements for swimmer Chase Kalisz to take a class to maintain his eligibility.<br />
<br />
Bauerle was suspended for the final three months of the 2013-14 season while the school investigated. Georgia still captured its second straight NCAA women's title, with senior associate head coach Harvey Humphries running the program.<br />

The NCAA said Bauerle would be suspended from nine regular-season meets this season and banned from recruiting through April 3. School officials are trying to determine the date of his return.
