SIDELINES : Violations Few, Minor--Texas U.

The University of Texas reported today that an investigation into alleged gambling among its athletes has been turned over to the NCAA and that only isolated, mostly minor, violations were found.

“We don’t expect these violations to warrant NCAA action against the university or any individual student athletes,” Athletic Director DeLoss Dodds said.

The report was turned over to the NCAA two months ago, but no response has been received, Dodds said.

“It (the report) is extremely thorough, and we feel good about the results in that we were dealing with isolated cases and very minor NCAA violations,” he added.

The report was compiled by the law firm of Vinson & Elkins in response to a story in the Austin American-Statesman alleging that a number of student athletes had been involved in betting.
