Nevada Las Vegas will conduct an internal investigation into its dealings with former New York high school basketball star Lloyd Daniels.

The school’s investigation is in response to stories describing ways in which UNLV coaches, boosters and other representatives of the school apparently broke NCAA rules in their dealings with Daniels, a 6-8 forward-guard. A month-long investigation by a Long Island newspaper, Newsday, revealed that Daniels received cash, a car, a motorcycle and free housing--last year while attempting to become eligible to play at UNLV.

UNLV Athletic Director Brad Rothermel called Pacific Coast Athletic Assn. Commissioner Lew Cryer to notify the conference of UNLV’s intention to investigate the situation.
