This week, the South Carolina men’s basketball program received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA, stemming from a federal investigation into college basketball last year.
Now, the Gamecocks athletic department, led by AD Ray Tanner, is gearing up for a response to the allegations.
After a USC Board of Trustees meeting this week, Tanner said he’d actively defend the program (via postandcourier.com):
“We know what occurred, internally. Based on the knowledge that I have and the internal research that we did, I would not (expect any forfeiture of wins),” Tanner said. “I’ll reiterate that I will very passionately and actively defend our program and our institution in this process with the NCAA.”
The Gamecocks are facing a Level I infraction, which is the most serious a program can receive.
We’ll see if Tanner and the Gamecocks are able to avoid stiff penalties moving forward.
