More trouble rolls Crimson Tide's way

The University of Alabama received official word from the NCAA yesterday detailing alleged rules violations in the Crimson Tide football program.

The university did not immediately make public the charges, contained in a document known as a letter of inquiry. President Andrew Sorensen, Athletic Director Mal Moore and attorneys were reviewing the letter.

  • But simply receiving the document represented bad news for the Crimson Tide because a letter of inquiry - the product of months of investigation - is similar to a grand jury indictment in criminal court.

    Institutions typically have 90 days to respond to allegations of wrongdoing.

    Under NCAA rules the program faces possible penalties including probation, a reduction in scholarships, a bowl ban and loss of postseason revenues.

    NCAA investigators have spent months reviewing allegations an Alabama booster paid $200,000 to a high school coach in Memphis, Tenn., in return for the coach sending a star player to Alabama.
