Attorney: ASU reported allegations of NCAA violations

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Alabama State University has reported potential rules violations within the university's football program to the NCAA, according to an attorney representing former ASU football coach Reggie Barlow.

Donald Jackson, a local attorney who specializes in NCAA-related legal work, said he was notified on Friday by an attorney working for ASU that the school had received "anonymous allegations" of NCAA rules violations involving Barlow.

Jackson said the attorney, Michael Buckner, would not disclose the nature of the violations — whether they were major or secondary violations, when they allegedly occurred or the source of the allegations — but wanted to set an interview with Barlow to discuss them.

Jackson said he spoke with an NCAA enforcement staff member on Monday and confirmed that ASU has reported the allegations.
