FILE - In this Nov. 9, 2012 file photo, Michigan State University President Lou Anna K. Simon attends an event in East Lansing, Mich. The NCAA sent a letter to Michigan State earlier this week asking for any potential rules violations related to Nassar, the first indication that a full-bore investigation by the governing body might be next. But in doing so, the NCAA is wading back into territory where its authority is unclear and its track record is marred by memories of trying to punish Penn State for what assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky did in another horrific case involving child sex abuse.

NCAA alleges University of Oregon infractions in 4 programs

FILE - In this Jan. 9, 2017, file photo, Alabama offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian is seen on the sidelines during the second half of the NCAA college football playoff championship game against Clemson, in Tampa, Fla. When Alabama switched offensive coordinators during last season’s playoff, it had an in-house solution. The Crimson Tide’s support staff included former Washington and Southern California head coach Steve Sarkisian, who took over the offense for the championship game. Western Kentucky didn’t have that luxury this season when offensive line coach Geoff Dart was diagnosed with brain tumors and underwent surgery to limit his availability. The Hilltoppers had to rely on tight ends coach Mike Mahaffey and graduate assistant Mike Bivin to pick up the slack. Those two examples underscore the difference in staff sizes between Power Five programs and Group of Five schools.(AP Photo/David J. Phillip, File)
