Oliver Antigua, an assistant men's basketball coach at the University of South Florida, has resigned amid an academic fraud investigation.
Earlier, 10News WTSP learned that the South Florida men's basketball program is under NCAA investigation for possible academic fraud issues.
Reportedly, assistant coach Oliver Antigua, the brother of head coach Orlando Antigua, has not been allowed to go out on the road recruiting this month.
USF Athletics released the following statement Wednesday, keeping the details surrounding the investigation vague:
"The University of South Florida and the NCAA enforcement staff are working together to investigate and resolve an inquiry into potential violations of NCAA bylaws and university standards by one of our intercollegiate athletic programs. Because the University of South Florida is committed to protecting the integrity of the investigation and ensuring those involved receive fair treatment, we cannot provide any details about the investigation at this time."
Oliver Antigua was previously an assistant for one season at Seton Hall before he was hired to join the USF staff in 2014. He spent more than a decade as the head coach at St. Raymond High in the Bronx.
The Bulls are 16-47 since Orlando Antigua became head coach in 2014.
