Violation Could Be Major: A school attorney said that the illegal phone calls made to recruits by former Fresno State head coach Ray Lopes could be deemed a major violation. The NCAA will soon inform the school of the results of its investigation, and if deemed a major violation, the school could face major sanctions since it would be a repeat violator currently on probation until next December. Lopes resigned on March 17 after admitting to “numerous” cases where he and his staff broke rules with phone calls to recruits. [10/06/05]
