LAFAYETTE — On the day it received a ruling from the NCAA regarding alleged academic fraud committed by former assistant coach David Saunders, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette filed a lawsuit seeking recompense from ACT Inc.
The lawsuit stems from the NCAA investigation into Saunders, particularly on the allegation that Saunders directed prospective student athletes to the Wayne County High School testing center, where his accomplice, exam administrator Ginny Crager, would alter or fill in exam sheets so the student athletes received a passing grade.
“We think there is another entity that could have stopped some of this from taking place on our campus,” UL-Lafayette Athletic Director Scott Farmer said.
