TMZ.com is reporting that the NCAA is interested in speaking with Alabama running back Mark Ingram regarding a trip he took this off-season. It's not the now, infamous South Beach party either. The NCAA is looking to question the reigning Heisman winner, a source told the entertainment gossip website, about a party he attended in Washington D.C., that was described by the site as a celebration of college stars who had just been drafted.
The NCAA is interested in how Ingram paid for the trip and, by extension, if any agent was involved.
An Alabama compliance department official told the website that Ingram had "asked if could visit[former Florida Gator Joe Haden at his home in Baltimore." The compliance department "checked with the NCAA and they approved this trip as long as Mark provided receipts for his expenses."
It's unclear whether Ingram submitted the proper paperwork following his trip or if the university even acknowledged that the NCAA is interested in speaking to Ingram.
The website reports that, even with the school's claim that Ingram's trip was above board, the NCAA is still looking to talk to Ingram in regards to the trip
