NCAA Enforcement Staff Expands Its Focus

Enforcement to Look Into Football Recruiting

In the near future, members of the NCAA enforcement staff are going to team with people from the NCAA's Agents, Gambling & Amateurism (AGA) department to take a look at recruiting issues in collegiate football.  This article outlines what they hope to accomplish, but it appears that their goals are to work with agents and other influential groups in prep football to build relationships and develop policies in conjunction with these outside groups.

It is not clear at this point if they will develop a "Football Focus Group" similar to the "Basketball Focus Group" that is currently in place, but looking at the impact the BFG has had on basketball recruiting it seems like a logical next step to look deeper into football issues.
