Michigan Players Violated Ncaa Rule

Michigan basketball players involved in an automobile accident on their way back from a party in Detroit apparently committed an NCAA violation by taking a recruit too far from campus.

An NCAA rule states that recruits on official visits may be provided with entertainment, but it must be within a 30-mile radius of campus. The party was slightly farther away than that.

The rollover accident occurred Saturday when forward Maurice Taylor fell asleep at the wheel of his grandmother’s 1996 Ford Explorer Limited Edition, police said.
