Kevin Wilson Hired as Indiana's Next Football Coach
This article is from yesterday's Chicago Tribune and discusses the new head football coach at Indiana University. The article talks briefly about the IU Compliance office checking in to several secondary violations that were committed at the University of Oklahoma while Wilson was the Offensive Coordinator there. The school wanted to check into Wilson's culpability in a pair of violations that he admitted to being involved in during the job interview process.
Indiana is a school from a BCS conference, and they have also recently run into NCAA issues of their own, so I'm sure they want to be sure of what they are getting in Wilson. But it also shows that they are taking a potential coach's NCAA compliance track record seriously in the hiring process. I can also tell you from experience that this is becoming more and more of a standard practice around Division I athletic departments. Just thought it would be good to let you know that schools are beginning to check up on these types of things.
