UNLV Ready to Admit Some Violations
Nevada Las Vegas will admit to some allegations made by the NCAA in a 29-count complaint charging violations in the Rebel basketball program, the university’s legal counsel said Wednesday.
Brad Booke said the university does not plan to contest certain charges in a reply that it has until June 1 to send to the NCAA. Booke, who is handling UNLV’s response, declined to say which of the allegations will not be contested.
A Las Vegas station, KVBC-TV, quoted sources as saying the violations UNLV will admit to include setting up a system to give players rides to class and arranging a plan for players to pay their rent and utilities for off-campus apartments.
The station said UNLV will admit to violations in setting up tutoring programs for recruits Barry Young and Lloyd Daniels.
The NCAA charged UNLV in a December complaint with 29 violations, many of them during the recruitment of Daniels, a former New York prep star.
