NCAA alleges no new LSU football violations

An NCAA Notice of Allegations received by LSU on Tuesday alleges no new violations in the LSU football program that were not otherwise previously reported by the university after an internal investigation that was launched last year.

"This reaffirms our belief that LSU performed a thorough and deliberate internal review of the violations that were discovered in this case and I am confident that we have taken corrective measures to avoid future violations," said LSU Chancellor Michael Martin.

The Notice of Allegations contains seven basic allegations. The first four involve alleged violations in the recruitment of one student-athlete by one assistant coach in four areas: (1) transportation; (2) free lodging with a student worker during an unofficial visit; (3) discounted lodging in a former student-athlete's apartment; and (4) impermissible telephone calls. The fifth allegation involves impermissible phone calls made by non-coaching football staff members. The sixth and seventh allegations concern alleged unethical conduct by the student-athlete and the assistant coach, both of whom are no longer with the university. The coach resigned from LSU following the 2009 season and the student-athlete, who never participated in an athletic contest for LSU, left the university prior to the 2010 spring semester.
