«On May 8, the University of Cincinnati Athletics began an internal review of possible NCAA violations related to the baseball program,» the school said in a statement. «Although the review is ongoing, Sprague and Nagel have been dismissed based on the initial findings. UC is cooperating with the NCAA on this matter. Since this is an ongoing investigation, we will not comment further at this time.»
