As NCAA Investigations Increase, Lawyers Find New Opportunities

The University of Michigan and the University of North Carolina are two of the other Division I schools being investigated. In 2009, NCAA enforcement staff processed 29 of the most serious type of rules violations. With the large number of high-profile probes that have become public comes a steady stream of business for the small complement of attorneys who specialize in matters involving the NCAA.
