ESPN: 36 Division I programs could face NCAA violations due to FBI probe

Three of the ten people indicted in the FBI’s probe into college basketball will have their arguments heard tomorrow in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, but more interesting are these tidbits in ESPN’s article about what the FBI has discovered. Sources tell ESPN’s Mark Schlabach that as many as 36 Division I programs could face NCAA violations for what has come to light in the investigation, specifically information seized from NBA agent Andy Miller.

Regardless what happens with the criminal cases, sources with knowledge of the FBI investigation told ESPN this week that the clandestine probe could result in potential NCAA violations for as many as three dozen Division I programs, based on information included in wiretap conversations from the defendants and financial records, emails and cell phone records seized from NBA agent Andy Miller.
