MISSOULA — The NCAA has informed the University of Montana that its investigation of the school’s football program will continue.
When the organization notified UM in January that it was investigating the school’s football program, it said such investigations usually take about six months.
The NCAA emailed UM President Royce Engstrom Monday to say its inquiry into the athletics policies and practices at UM is not complete.
NCAA Vice President of Enforcement Julie Roe Lach wrote that members of the NCAA enforcement staff are making every effort to complete the necessary interviews.
Engstrom said UM will continue to cooperate with the NCAA, which has not said what it is investigating.
UM also announced it has hired the Michael L. Buckner Law Firm of Florida for representation during the NCAA investigation.
