UConn Granted Another Extension in NCAA Investigation

Here’s the latest from the UConn Athletic Communications Department involving the NCAA investigation into the UConn Huskies men’s basketball program:

Based on requests made for an extension by involved coaches named in the May 21 notice of allegations, the NCAA Committee on Infractions has granted a second extension to all parties to submit their response.

The original due date for response was August 20, which was initially extended to September 3 and has now been extended again to September 7.

Please note that the due date listed is the date that the responses must be received by the NCAA Committee on Infractions in Indianapolis. The documentation and materials will also then need to be reviewed, per State of Connecticut law, by the University Office of Audit, Compliance and Ethics in accordance with the requirements of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and its regulations, and the provisions of the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act under Conn. Gen. Stat. secs. 1-210(b) (11) and (17).

Due to the volume of material to be reviewed, the date of completion of that process is unknown at this time. Upon completion, a public release and media availability will be scheduled.

The University of Connecticut will have no further comment at this time.
