The National Collegiate Athletic Association has requested information regarding scouting services the University used for the 2010-2011 recruiting year, according to an Athletic Department news release.
The University has complied with NCAA inquiries, according to the release. Several members of the LSU football coaching staff met with an NCAA official on the University campus to answer questions and supply materials given to the staff.
Complete Scouting Services, a scouting provider, and its director Will Lyles gave the University DVDs of game footage or highlights from 32 California and Kansas junior college prospective players from the 2010-2011 recruiting year.
Videos of one 2010-2011 Texas high school prospect and one 2007-2008 Kansas junior college prospect were also included, though the University had not requested them from Complete Scouting Services, the release said.
The prospects were eligible to sign national letters of intent in February 2011.
The University also received 91 typewritten pages of roster-type information from junior colleges in those states, mostly related to prospects who had already enrolled in a four-year college by the time the University had received the materials, the release said. The University provided the pages to the NCAA.
The coaching staff decided the footage from the DVDs was enough for evaluation purposes and did not ask Career Scouting Services for the correct 2010-2011 typewritten data, according to the release.
The University paid Complete Scouting Services $6,000 on Dec. 21 for these materials.
