The University of Central Florida received an official notice of inquiry from the NCAA regarding potential recruiting violations in the school's football and men's basketball program on Wednesday, the university confirmed.
NCAA investigators have already begun interviewing people connected to potential violations. Sources also said they expect the investigation will lead to the NCAA bringing formal charges against the Conference USA member.
"Compliance is the top priority for UCF athletics; playing by the rules is the only way to play," school president John C. Hitt said in a statement. "We will cooperate fully with the NCAA. If we have done something wrong, we will deal with it in a manner that is consistent with our responsibilities as a member of the NCAA and our own high standards of conduct."
The school also said along with the NCAA investigation, it will conduct a third-party investigation of the school's NCAA compliance.
Allegations are believed to center on Ken Caldwell, a 42-year-old Chicago native and former AAU basketball coach who has been tied to Central Florida's recruitment of several basketball players and at least one football player.
Caldwell's son, Erik, attended Central Florida through last spring, and among the alleged violations is recruits stayed at his apartment during visits to the Orlando school.
Caldwell could not be reached for comment, though in the past he's adamantly denied he has broken any NCAA rules. His son declined comment.
Neither of the Caldwells has agreed to be interviewed by NCAA investigators.
