The announcement was made Thursday by West Virginia director of athletics Oliver Luck. Luck read from a statement and took no questions. West Virginia football coach Bill Stewart was not available for comment.
West Virginia's athletic department received a notice of allegations from the NCAA earlier this week which focused primarily on the function and number of graduate assistants, student managers and other non-coaching staff in the football program from 2005-09.
