Not an Investigation – Yet: UL-Lafayette president Ray Authement said that the NCAA is not investigating the men’s basketball program at the school, although that could happen later. The NCAA visited the campus in April as part of a fact-finding mission, looking into claims made by former basketball recruit Berry Jordan that the coaching staff violated NCAA rules. Jordan’s allegations include head coach Robert Lee paying for him to attend summer school at Florida Community College in Jacksonville, twice receiving payments from the staff and a bus ticket to Jacksonville, and a collegiate transcript listing classes he did not attend. Jordan, who has one year of college eligibility remaining, signed with the school from Kilgore College in Texas but found that he was not listed in the registrar’s office last fall and had to leave the campus in October.
