COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher said Thursday he is taking allegations of NCAA violations and mistreatment levied by a former player "very seriously" and that he will cooperate with any forthcoming investigation.
Former linebacker Santino Marchiol made numerous allegations to USA Today on Tuesday about cash changing hands for hosting recruits, practices that went beyond allowed time limits and mishandling of his own injury.
Fisher said his program will be "open" to any probing of his program.
"We take [the allegations] very seriously," Fisher said. "We're open to all inquiries, and we'll be very open with our records and everything we have.
