Just to be clear they're not yet investigating UCLA they're investigating 3 of their signed freshman. So far the Shabazz stuff is all connected to visits to other schools, not UCLA, and alleged financing of his AAU team.

Anderson according to CBS Sports is being investigated for a possible association with an agent who works for the Wasserman group(and Wasserman IS a UCLA alum so that COULD tie UCLA to it).

Parker as UCLA fans have been aware Georgia's coach has apparently been telling people for awhile that Parker got paid, Georgia thought they were getting Parker even after unsuccessfully trying to hire his HS coach, so most UCLA fans figured it was sour grapes.

But you never know. Howland's job was on the line so it wouldn't be a total stunner if some booster(s) decided to "help" and broke rules. If that's what happened it's going to take Ben down with it.

No idea I've been saying for awhile now if Shabazz gets more than 10 games, UCLA shouldn't play him at all, I think the same with the other 2 anything more than 10 games should be seen as there might be more there so don't play them.

Zagsblog is reporting that the NCAA already investigated and cleared both Kyle Anderson and Tony Parker in August prior to them going on the trip to China. Shabazz didn't go because he's not cleared.

If true that's good news better than reports all 3 are still under investigation.
