Morehead State athletics is being investigated for alleged recruiting violations.
Officials at MSU confirmed the investigation but offered little information.
The only comment the university would make is the following statement emailed to a reporter from Brian Hutchinson, MSU director of intercollegiate athletics.
"Over the last several weeks, we have been engaged in an institutional investigation regarding allegations made against our men’s basketball program. We immediately notified the Ohio Valley Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association,” Hutchinson wrote.
“The university is committed to fielding competitive teams in strict compliance with all NCAA and conference rules and regulations. We will withhold any further comment regarding this matter until the investigation is complete."
The allegations claim an alumni of MSU recruited and paid for tuition for a men’s basketball player to attend a private school to help him meet qualifications for NCAA eligibility.
There is a separate allegation involving another player that did not sign with the Eagles that is also being investigated.
