The NCAA has scheduled a 3 p.m. ET teleconference to discuss the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions on LSU . The issue currently in front of the NCAA relates to recruiting violations committed in 2009 and is not connected to the Willie Lyles “situation“, for those who are curious. In March of 2010, LSU self-reported violations to both the NCAA and SEC relating to the recruitment of former LSU defensive lineman Akiem Hicks. The school found during the course of its investigation that Hicks received impermissible transportation during an official visit in 2009 and a reduced-rent apartment in Baton Rouge three months before actually enrolling at LSU. The benefits were tied to former WR coach D.J. McCarthy, who has since resigned his LSU post.
The COI, which heard LSU’s case in April of this year, will either deem the self-imposed sanctions sufficient and end the case, or impose further sanctions
