CBSSports.com reporter Dennis Dodd is reporting that at least six Division I men’s basketball programs will receive notices of allegations for Level I violations from the NCAA this summer, stemming from the federal government’s recently completed investigation of the sport.
Stan Wilcox, NCAA vice president for regulatory affairs, said two high-profile programs would receive notices of allegations by early July.
The remaining four would be rolled out later in the summer in what was described as a wave of NCAA investigations meant to clean up major-college basketball.
Level I violations are considered the most serious by the NCAA. They carry the strongest punishments that can include scholarship reductions, postseason bans and show-cause orders against coaches. According to the NCAA, a notice of allegations is sent after an investigation has closed.
It has previously been reported that at least Kansas, Arizona and Louisville had been under NCAA investigation.
At least 20 schools were mentioned during the course of the FBI’s investigation. Among others were Oklahoma State, USC, Auburn and LSU. Wilcox said only those schools involved in eligibility issues would be impacted.
