The Tampa Bay Times is reporting the NCAA is investigating the Florida Gators football program.

The investigation has been ongoing since the summer, perhaps longer. According to the report, on June 9, the NCAA sent Florida President Ben Sasse a notice of inquiry.

It took nearly three months for The Tampa Bay Times’ request for the letter to be honored after, per The Times, the news outlets legal counsel got involved.

“We have been and will continue to cooperate with the NCAA,” Gators spokesperson Steve McClain said, per The Times. “We hold ourselves to high standards of excellence and integrity on and off the field. Because we follow NCAA policies about maintaining confidentiality, we are unable to offer additional comments.”

What specifically is being investigated is unknown at this time.

The NCAA hit the Gators with one year of probation in 2020 for recruiting violations under then-coach Dan Mullen.
