NCAA asks about possible rules violations at WVU

From the Charleston Gazette: http://www.wvgazette.com/Sports/201004130532

West Virginia University officials have been interviewed by NCAA investigators for possible violations in the school's football program, ESPN reports.

The report says NCAA investigators asked about possible rules violations during the tenure of former coach Rich Rodriguez.

Rodriguez is now the head coach at the University of Michigan. The NCAA has been investigating whether the amount of time Michigan athletes spend on football-related activities exceeds NCAA limits.

"The NCAA has met with individuals involved with the West Virginia football program to identify any potential rules violations," WVU officials said in a statement, as reported by ESPN. "The university has fully cooperated with the NCAA during this process. West Virginia University and its department of intercollegiate athletics is committed to operating its athletics department in conformance with the legislation and policies of the NCAA and the Big East Conference."
