This can't be good for Kevin Ollie's already hot seat.
Per ESPN:
The University of Connecticut is the target of an NCAA investigation into its men's basketball program.
University President Susan Herbst said in a statement Friday the school will cooperate in a "thorough and transparent manner reflective of the model athletic and academic institution we continually strive to be."
The university didn't specify the allegations and said it would have no further comment, but would "address and respond appropriately as the inquiry moves forward."
Hearst Connecticut Media, which first reported the investigation, cited unidentified sources saying the inquiry was related to recruiting.
The school said it had begun an NCAA-mandated internal review of the men's basketball program this fall amid an FBI investigation into alleged corruption in college basketball. The focus of the federal probe has been on arrangements made between assistant coaches, shoe companies and financial advisers.
As part of that review, UConn retained a law firm -- Lightfoot, Franklin and White -- that specializes in athletics compliance. It says that firm also will assist in responding to this NCAA probe. The school didn't say whether the NCAA investigation was related to issues investigated by the FBI.
