LSU has not been contacted by federal or NCAA officials regarding the investigation into payments made to college basketball players, the school said in a release Friday.
A Yahoo.com investigative report earlier Friday listed former LSU basketball players Tim Quarterman and Jarell Martin among the dozens from schools around the country to receive some form of payment or loan from a former NBA agent and his firm.
The LSU statement from athletic director Joe Alleva said the report is "deeply disappointing to all of us who are fans of college basketball."
The federal investigation has led to the arrest of four former college basketball assistant coaches.
