The NCAA has launched an investigation into the UConn men’s basketball team, according to Jeff Jacobs of Hearst Media Connecticut and the Connecticut Post.
Jacobs reports the investigation at least partially involves potential recruiting violations. It is not known whether that is the full focus of the investigation, or if the NCAA is looking into other areas as well. The school has been notified of the NCAA’s probe.
Jacobs’ report says the investigation is considered to be completely unrelated to this summer’s criminal investigation that saw several high-profile Division I programs and their coaches face consequences for solicitation, corruption, and/or bribery.
