ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP)—College football’s winningest program just took another hit off the field.

The University of Michigan released embarrassing details of an internal audit Monday that discovered Rich Rodriguez’s team failed to file forms tracking how much time players spent on football during the 2008 season—his first—and the offseason last spring.

Perhaps coincidentally, the NCAA and the school are investigating the program about similar issues. The NCAA sent the school’s president a notice of inquiry last month, saying it plans to complete its investigation by Dec. 31. “I don’t know what the NCAA is going to find,” athletic director Bill Martin said in an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, before the audit was released. “I do know this is not academic fraud or gambling.

“I’m not involved with the investigation. It’s being handled by our general counsel. We’re the ones who picked up the phone to call the NCAA about this.”

The audit was completed months ago, but the details surfaced during Ohio State week because they are part of the agenda for Thursday’s board of regents meeting. Rodriguez has said he and his coaches know and follow NCAA rules.
