East Lansing — On the eve of Larry Nassar’s sentencing, the NCAA announced it intends to investigate the Michigan State athletics department and what role it might have had in the former doctor’s assault of more than 100 young women, some of those Michigan State athletes.
The NCAA said it has asked Michigan State University for information on any potential violation of its rules in a letter emailed to the school Tuesday.
The letter of inquiry was received by Michigan State on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, athletic director Mark Hollis issued a statement.
