The NCAA, as a policy, doesn’t get into specifics on possible violations — though Grambling’s “conditional certification” indicates that the school is largely compliant with Division I rules, but must correct some deficiencies before receiving full certification. Schools are evaluated on “commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, fiscal integrity, and commitment to equity,” according to the NCAA.

So what’s my best guess on what college athletics’ governing body discovered at Grambling? A problem with the very first item on the certification check list: Governance and rules compliance.

I have no reason to doubt that Nick's instincts are wrong here - he's probably right - but I wonder, could this be an APR thing? I do know Southern has had problems with APR compliance.
