NCAA Finds Issue With Miami Investigation

The NCAA revealed on Wednesday that its enforcement staff worked with the defense attorney for former Miami booster Nevin Shapiro to improperly obtain information.

A source told ESPN's Joe Schad the attorney was given a list of questions to ask during the deposition on behalf of the NCAA. 

The attorney then sent a bill to the NCAA for expenses, which NCAA president Mark Emmert said led to questions of the organization's conduct in the case.

The delay in the notice of allegations also means former Miami and current Missouri men's basketball coach Frank Haith won't know if and when he will face any charges. 

CBSSports.com reported Monday that Haith would be charged with allegations of "unethical conduct and failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance." Haith has professed his innocence.

Missouri's Frank Haith Could Receive Multiple-Year Show-Cause Penalty

Missouri head coach Frank Haith is expected to be charged with unethical conduct and failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance.

Haith could have a multiple-year show-cause penalty for violations during his tenure at Miami.

A source told CBSSports.com that the NCAA was unable to prove the allegation from Miami booster Nevin Shapiro that Haith or anyone on his staff paid $10,000 to a family member of former player DeQuan Jones. 

The investigation began nearly two years ago after Shapiro, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for a $930 million Ponzi scheme, told Yahoo Sports that he gave thousands of impermissible benefits, primarily to football players, from 2002 to 2010.

Michael Dixon Leaves Missouri

Michael Dixon left the Missouri program amid two sexual assault claims.

Dixon has not been charged in either case.

"It's been a challenging few months and while I appreciate the support of many in the Mizzou community, including my coaches and teammates, it's in the best interest of me, my family and the University of Missouri for me to finish my career elsewhere," Dixon said.

Dixon was briefly suspended for violating unspecified team rules in December 2010 by former coach Mike Anderson.

The absence of criminal charges in both cases prompted a groundswell of support for Dixon's reinstatement among Missouri fans, with some Twitter posts calling for the school to "Free Mike Dixon."

SEC Dominating 2013 Commitments With Seven Top-15 Recruits

The SEC has become one college basketball's strongest conferences over the past decade as Kentucky has become a powerhouse again under John Calipari, while Billy Donovan has built a consistent winner at Florida with championships in 2006 and 2007.

But there has also been a trickle down effect.

Seven of the top 15 overall prospects in the Class of 2013 are SEC-bound: Andrew and Aaron Harrison and James Young to Kentucky, Kasey Hill and Chris Walker to Florida, Bobby Portis to Arkansas and Jarrell Martin to LSU.

Each of the five remaining top-15 prospects are considering at least one SEC school.

The SEC has 13 top-50 commits, which is more than double the amount from the ACC (6) and Big 12 (6).
