NEW YORK (AP) -- Agents for NFL players have received a letter from the NCAA seeking cooperation when the NCAA is investigating college players.
A person familiar with the letter told The Associated Press that the tone is not threatening and the NCAA is not applying pressure on the agents. But it wants "an environment of cooperation" when NCAA regulations may have been broken regarding contact between agents and amateur student-athletes.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the letter has not been made public.
In the wake of the Reggie Bush scandal that led to Southern California landing on probation, the NCAA has expressed concerns about potential rule violations to several agents and to the NFL Players Association. The NFLPA is encouraging agents and its members to cooperate with any investigations.
