Boise State has asked the NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee to throw out the penalties levied by the Committee on Infractions that are above the school's self-imposed sanctions, according to Boise State's appeal obtained by the Idaho Statesman.

The Committee on Infractions stripped Boise State of three football scholarships for this season and the next two and reduced the number of contact practices in the springs of 2012, 2013 and 2014.

The penalties were in addition to Boise State's self-imposed reduction of three pre-season practices in 2011 and 2012. Boise State had proposed a reduction of three total scholarships, which the Broncos took this season.

"Boise State contends that these penalties are excessive such that they constitute abuses of discretion in the situation presented by the case," Boise State writes in its 17-page appeal.
