Michigan Gets Served(!)
I'm not sure if this is news or not, but it kind of sounds newsy. Sort of.
[press release]

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman today (Monday, Oct. 26) announced that the University has received a "Notice of Inquiry" from the NCAA, indicating it will continue its investigation of allegations made about the U-M's intercollegiate athletics football program. The investigation is being conducted in cooperation with the University.

"We continue to cooperate with the NCAA on this matter, which is why we reached out to both the Big Ten and the NCAA as soon as we heard the allegations. We remain committed to following both the letter and the intent of the NCAA rules."

I don't think this means anything other than "there is an investigation," but I could be wrong. I'm sort of on the radio (LINDA!) at the moment so can't research if this is serious or not.

I drafted these in the past for the NCAA and it's nothing more than a formal letter that an "inquiry" is underway. If we receive a Notice of Allegations, that is when we should panic because it's akin to the federal government indicting you on federal criminal charges (you're basically already guilty and just need to worry about the sentencing). The Notice of Inquiry is like the NCAA making a telephone call saying "hey we heard the Free Press allegations and need some additional info" and then putting it in writing the next day and shipping it out.http://michigan.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=338&mid=127407284&sid=883&ti… ($) Note: This wasn't posted by me, so I don't have any answers to clarify any of this quote.
