AUBURN - Auburn University attorneys have received a letter and notice
of allegations from the National Collegiate Athletics Association regarding
the men’s basketball program. The notice contains allegations of
major rules violations concerning one former and one current assistant
coach. Auburn has been cooperating fully with the NCAA and has assisted
in the investigation of these matters over the past year.
The notice contains statements referring to possible major rules violations
related to alleged offers and provision of improper inducements to prospective
student athletes. The notice of allegations deals with only those issues
covered during the joint investigation by Auburn and the NCAA and does
not contain any new allegations. There is no allegation of lack of institutional
control or failure to monitor.
Auburn’s response to the notice is due to the NCAA on November
5, 2003, but the University may request more time if necessary.
Consistent with NCAA and University policy, Auburn will not discuss
the specifics of the investigation. Auburn’s attorneys will not
be releasing the letter or the notice of allegations at this time.
