Alabama State to answer NCAA charges by June 27

NCAA slaps 668 athletic violations on Alabama State University

The NCAA has issued a long list of allegations of possible rules violations to Alabama State University, bringing the nearly 5-year probe closer to a finish.

ASU has until June 27 to respond to the report, which details 23 violations that spring from the college's self-reporting of rules it felt were broken by the football staff of L.C. Cole. Some of the allegations dating from 1999 come from the NCAA's enforcement staff, which has been investigating ASU's program since the institution issued its self-report in July 2003.

Cole was fired in 2003 and replaced by Charles Coe, who resigned following the 2007 season and was replaced by Reggie Barlow.
