The FBI has given the NCAA permission to investigate potential rules violations by schools mentioned in the federal court case of corruption in college basketball.

According to a report by ESPN, two Kentucky men’s basketball players were named in the documents.

Former UK player Jarred Vanderbilt and current player Ashton Hagans were named in a business plan that Christian Dawkins presented to his business partners in 2017.

According to the email, Dawkins planned to give Vanderbilt’s family $30,000 in travel expenses to watch him play for the Wildcats last season, plus his father was going to get a $25,000 signing bonus when his son turned pro.
