INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA’s new interim head of enforcement says he’s been told he’ll have 18 months to prove he can do the job.
Then NCAA President Mark Emmert will decide whether Jonathan Duncan sticks around.
Duncan told The Associated Press he was “surprised” by the job offer and acknowledged one of his primary functions will be restoring confidence in a department that has been tainted by the improper collection of evidence during an investigation into the University of Miami.
Enforcement chief Julie Roe Lach left the job March 1, about two weeks after an external investigation found the department paid an outside attorney to help with the Miami investigation despite objections from the NCAA’s legal department. Duncan started Monday.
