NCAA has asked Mizzou not to investigate Haith
August 19, 2011 6:49 PM
The NCAA has asked that Missouri officials not conduct their own investigation into allegations that MU Coach Frank Haith had knowledge of and expressed gratitude for a $10,000 payment that helped secure the commitment of a recruit while he was coaching at Miami.
Interim University System President Steve Owens said as much Friday afternoon during a conference call with reporters before the school's Board of Curators went into closed session during a previously scheduled meeting in Kansas City.
That could make it difficult for Missouri to take any action regarding Haith's status until the NCAA completes its investigation and determines if it has a case to prove the allegation made by former Miami booster and convicted felon Nevin Shapiro in a Yahoo! Sports report published Tuesday.
