Nice timing: Feds give NCAA go-ahead to begin investigating schools in college hoops scandal
>>The federal government has given the NCAA a nod of approval to begin looking into potential NCAA violations tied to certain schools implicated in the federal basketball investigation, according to multiple sources. This serves as the first step of what could potentially be one of the broadest and most important investigations in the history of the NCAA’s enforcement division.
Sources said that the NCAA has been in constant communication with the federal government since September of 2017 when FBI agents arrested 10 men affiliated with the underbelly of basketball. And this step marks a natural progression for the NCAA’s investigative team, which has not wanted to interfere with the federal investigation, to prepare to begin its search for violations of NCAA rules.<<
>>Sources did not indicate specific schools that the NCAA has been cleared to look at. Programs named in the first federal trial included Kansas, North Carolina State and Louisville.<<
