NCAA continues to lose investigators

The NCAA continues to lose the nuts and bolts of its already thin enforcement staff.

ESPN’s crack staffer Dana O’Neil is reporting LuAnn Humphrey, the organization’s director of enforcement and long time face of the NCAA’s enforcement team, will leave next month after 14 years on the job. The loss of Humphrey, who played a huge role on the basketball task force and was in the vanguard of major basketball investigations, is the latest in an major exodus of investigators from a department that has already been gutted by defections and has taken heavy criticism for the way it mishandled the University of Miami investigation.
 
That probe cost Julie Roe Lach, the VP of enforcement, and investigators Abigail Grantstein aand Ameen Naijar, their jobs. Since then, Rachel Newman the director of enforcement, and well as investigators Marcus Wilson, Davd Didion, Chance Miller and Angie Cretors have left, creating the growing impression the NCAA is suffering from effective leadership at the top.
