In a statement, Fort Bend ISD said the district and Austin High School self-reported the violations. The University Interscholastic League publicly reprimanded the school.
Austin High co-coordinator and head football coach William Herrmann was handed a five-game suspension, three years probation, and a public reprimand.
ABC13 had covered the issues surrounding coach Herrmann since April when he announced he was leaving the school after being forced to resign.
In a statement to ABC13 then, Herrmann said that the issue concerns administrative duties and a clerical error. He also told 13 that he had hired a lawyer.

Austin High School's varsity basketball coach, Donald Linden, is one of three others given two-game suspensions, two years probation, and a public reprimand. The Austin High boys basketball team will forfeit the game in which the ineligible player competed.
All Austin High School athletic programs will serve a three-year probation. The penalties imposed by the UIL fall well short of the limits of a three-year suspension that bars offenders from participating in athletic programs.
Following the sanctions, Herrmann's legal counsel offered a statement on the penalties:
"Austin HS Athletics will persist in striving ahead incrementally, despite the regrettable circumstances, with the goal of attaining triumph in all Bulldog Athletics' pursuits."
