The investigation covered BB in years prior to LK, but the investigation started because of issues with hostess that was under LK's watch. W/O LK's "poking his finger in the eye of NCAA" there would not have been an NCAA investigation, and of course no internal sanctions. This problem would not exist if not for Kiffin, although Pearl and his staff did actually break some picky rules. It was not being truthful to investigators that has elevated the seriousness. W/o investigation - no issue.
