The NCAA knows about the recently released state audit of the athletic department, its football team and the summer football camp on the Boulder campus.
But the governing body for college sports did not indicate whether it considered the audit report worthy of its own further investigation.
“We are aware of the audit,” NCAA spokesman Erik Christianson said Tuesday. “If CU felt there were NCAA violations in there, they would be required by our bylaws to self-report those to us.”
CU has notified the NCAA of violations related to the report, according to the university – minor violations that included the apparent under-reporting to the school of income football coaches earned at a summer football camp. Minor violations are commonplace in intercollegiate sports.
CU officials do not believe the NCAA is contemplating an investigation of its own, athletic department spokesman Dave Plati said. The school has not received the official NCAA notification letter that would precede such an inquiry, he said.
“You usually get an indication” before such a letter is sent if it’s coming, Plati said. “They’re up front. They don’t sneak around about it.”
