University of Nevada is in the clear

Nevada University was cleared of any gambling claims according to the NCAA. Which is big news considering the type of claims that were reported.

NCAA investigators have cleared Nevada of the most serious allegations that sparked a probe of the school, including issues related to gambling, according to athletic director Cary Groth.

Groth said Tuesday the issue won’t be resolved until the NCAA’s committee on infractions acts on the investigative report. But she said investigators determined there had been no lack of institutional control and no gambling issues at the school.

Those claims were made by former women’s soccer coach Terri Patraw, who claimed she was fired in retaliation for reporting such violations. She said sports bets had been placed by Nevada men’s golf coach Rich Merritt, who since has resigned.
