Case in point the Technology Center and UL's Computer Science Dept(#9 in the WORLD),

I have always wondered where the UL administration pulled this. Our CS department is a fine and well recognized department. Easily the best in the state and one of the best in the South. But it is not #9 in the world. I have seen this cited elseware but no specifics are provided to substantiate the claim.

I do not live in Lafayette, but by just asking a few informed people I found out these facts -- how about this - Orien Greene did not do his own work last summer when he got 17 hours to become eligible. Players did not type their own papers for the last few years - that is why they interviewed the secretary - she was doing it. None of those facts have anything to do with a disgruntled recruit...just a trend of doing things around the rules by staff members including coach lee.

Brian that info concerning the CS dept is straight from the Alumni center out of one of the La Louisianne issues!!!

Of course, but where did La Louisiane get that ranking from? Who ranks them?

I'm sure at one time, some magazine or society ranked UL's CS department that high, but, well, Brian knows what he's talking about.

We will find out the results of the inquiry before then. The six month time limit is that a time limit. That is the longest it could drag out. Don Allen in the Times stated that a staffer told him in two weeks. Bop thinks by July 15. If you have not read Don's piece you should. The unnamed staffer stated that no violations were found.

Authement says "NCAA is conducting fact-finding mission, not investigation"

An irritated Ray Authement stressed Thursday that an NCAA inquiry into the Ragin' Cajuns basketball team has not escalated into an official investigation.

Authement maintained that an NCAA visit to the campus in April to interview players and coaches was part of a "fact-finding mission" based on an anonymous report to the NCAA.

Authement said the NCAA has repeatedly told his staff that if there was any cause for an investigation, he would receive a written notice.

"The day we get a letter that there's an investigation, we'll hold a press conference," he said.

Attempts to contact NCAA officials were unsuccessful.

The visit by the NCAA in April centered around the men's basketball team. A former UL recruit, Berry Jordan has alleged that the UL coaching staff violated NCAA rules by giving him money and paying for him to go to summer school.

"If we get word of an investigation and it shows that Robert Lee paid him $150 and all of this stuff, we're going to investigate that totally, but we have not been told that officially. I only read it in the damn newspaper. That's all I know," Authement said.

An NCAA spokesperson when questioned about the visit to UL used the word "investigation" in the association's dealings with the university, however that was misleading, Authement said.

NCAA bylaws state that before a formal investigation is called, enforcement officers investigate if there's any weight behind the allegations.

Authement and David Walker, UL director of auxiliary services, met with The Daily Advertiser on Thursday afternoon. Kristi Stake, the school's NCAA compliance officer, joined the conversation by phone from an NCAA conference in Florida. Stake was first contacted by the NCAA to gather information and set up interviews with players for the visit from an enforcement officer.

Correspondence between the athletic department and the NCAA obtained by The Daily Advertiser through a Public Records Act of Louisiana request show that NCAA Assistant Director of Enforcement Dan Matheson scheduled meetings with each player and coach in the men's basketball program during his visit April 18-22.

"It definitely was not an investigation," Stake said. "The NCAA made it quite clear to us that it was not an investigation. It was a fact-finding mission."
