Also in 2018, the NCAA added a rule requiring head coaches to be accountable for the improper actions of their assistants.

NCAA Bylaw 11.1.1, “Head Coach Responsibility,” imposes a presumption of head coach accountability for impermissible acts committed by assistant coaches and administrators within their program.

If the NCAA is looking for an opportunity to showcase its new powers, it appears some of the schools frequently named in the FBI investigations of college basketball are most vulnerable.

It is already known the NCAA is investigating Kansas and LSU. Football and basketball are involved at both schools. LSU has received more of the headlines.

Wiretaps of Will Wade talking about ‘strong’ offers to prospective players may be all the evidence the NCAA needs to punish Wade and the school. More recently, it has been alleged an LSU booster used misappropriated funds from a foundation to pay the father of a former LSU player.

That player, Vadal Alexander played for the Bengal Tigers from 2012-2015. It has been reported the NCAA has an ongoing investigation into the LSU football and basketball programs.

If the NCAA heeds those coach calls for action, the results may be first seen in Baton Rouge.

How soon might the NCAA act? New announcements of allegations are expected before the end of July.
