Investigation still in progress as NCAA will return after visit in early March
The National Collegiate Athletic Association will follow up on a previous investigation Wednesday into violations by the Nevada athletic department.
The investigators will be on campus to talk to at least one student athlete and some Nevada coaches, said Dr. Jean Perry, Nevada’s special assistant to the president for athletics academics and compliance.
The names of the athlete or athletes were not released. Nevada Director of Athletics Cary Groth said that former Nevada women’s golf coach Jody Dansie will be interviewed.
The investigation stems from allegations brought on against the Nevada golf teams.
The university’s self-imposed investigation last year found that Nevada men’s golf coach Rich Merritt illegally gave a men’s golfer a plane ticket to attend a tournament, dared some women’s golfers to eat regurgitated food and “huck a loogie,” and also gave women’s golfers improper per diem on a road trip. Merritt was suspended for three men’s golf matches.
Groth said before the first visit that the NCAA could be looking into gambling violations by Rich Merritt, which the University dismissed.
