GRAMBLING — Officials from the NCAA have reportedly returned to the Grambling State campus, but its investigation into the athletic department continues.

GSU officials have not outlined the parameters of the probe. As a rule, the NCAA also does not comment about ongoing investigations — but they often take extended periods of time to complete.
