Georgia Tech athletic director Mike Bobinski said Friday he hopes the school's extended NCAA probation announced this week is ''the last time we go down this road.'' Georgia Tech had its NCAA probation extended two years, to June 13, 2017, after coaches were found to have made hundreds of impermissible calls and texts to recruits in 2011 and 2012. The NCAA on Thursday announced its ruling that Georgia Tech ''failed to monitor its sports programs.'' In 2011, Georgia Tech was forced to vacate its 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference football championship and placed on probation for four years due to NCAA rules violations. The NCAA said coaches made at least 478 impermissible calls and sent at least 299 impermissible text messages to a total of 140 prospects. The NCAA said there were violations in nine programs in 2011 and 2012, most in the men's and women's basketball and football programs.
