Just saw this this morning and didn't see it here. Potsdam gets 2 years probation and no postseason.

The NCAA has penalized the State University of New York at Potsdam for violations of financial aid rules involving men's and women's ice hockey; men's and women's lacrosse; women's volleyball and women's soccer programs.
Penalties in this case include two years probation and a postseason ban.
During the 2008-08 and 2009-10 academic years, the NCAA says the university awarded financial aid packages to student-athletes in a pattern clearly distinguishable from the general pattern of all financial aid for the general student body. The committee noted the violations were unintentional, but represented a significant competitive advantage.
The university awarded the scholarships in the form of International Initiative Grants, which were designed to increase the presence of international students enrolled at the university.
