NCAA infractions cases for Kansas, Louisville, LSU, Memphis, Arizona and NC State updated by IARP

There remains no timeline for the resolution of NCAA infractions cases for Kansas, Louisville, NC State, LSU, Memphis or Arizona — the six schools whose cases will be resolved by the newly-formed IARP, which was specifically set up to handle complex cases. However, the IARP did release updates to those cases Monday that revealed a timeline of events as things have thus far transpired.

The updates in totality were not earth-shattering; they were more of a transaction timeline tracking the back and forth between investigators and schools under investigation. But while there are no new major revelations there is a concise overview for each school we can now reference.
