LSU submitted a 126-page official response Friday to questions from the NCAA regarding LSU’s internal investigation of the football program in 2009, according to a news release.
The investigation involved interactions between former assistant football coach D.J. McCarthy and former LSU football player Akiem Hicks.
An NCAA Notice of Allegations sent to LSU in December 2010 didn’t include any added allegations to those previously self-reported by LSU.
The NCAA asked the University for additional information regarding seven basic allegations contained in the notice.
The first four allegations in the notice directly involved McCarthy and Hicks and included violations regarding transportation, free lodging with a student worker during an unofficial visit, discounted lodging in a former student-athlete’s apartment and impermissible phone calls.
“I am confident we have been thorough in our response to the NCAA, and I remain pleased with the way our athletics compliance staff has handled this process from the very start,” Chancellor Michael Martin said in the release.
The NCAA Committee on Infractions will consider LSU’s response during its April 15-17 meetings, according to the release.
