BASKETBALL The NCAA is conducting a preliminary 'inquiry of possible violations by Weber State's men's basketball program. Weber State officials announced Wednesday that the National Collegiate Athletic Association has been asking questions about the program. "We are cooperating and providing any information ,they require," WSU president Paul Thompson said. Thompson said the university was first contacted by the NCAA in October, but he believes the organization was gathering information before that. No one at the Big Sky Conference member school would say Wednesday what the NCAA is looking into. The NCAA has told the university not to comment. Last August, Sports Illustrated published a story about a small college in Florida where many athletes were earning substantial credits quickly through correspondence courses. At Southeastern College of the Assemblies of God in Lakeland, Fla., testing procedures were based on trust and the number xjf credits a student could earn in a summer was almost limitless. !'eber State has had atjeast two jJayers who took correspondence "Classes from Southeastern.
