Report: NCAA Investigating ‘Bama Back Ingram About May Party

Washington, DC, United States (AHN) – TMZ has learned the NCAA wants to talk to Alabama’s Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram about a lavish party he attended in Washington, DC — and whether any NCAA rules were broken.

A source with knowledge of the inquiry says Ingram attended the party on May 12 at District nightclub. Ingram was photographed at the celebration for college players, including Joe Haden.

Ingram is a returning junior this year and we’re told the NCAA wants to know if agents paid for anything involved with his DC trip — which could be a violation of NCAA rules.

The University of Alabama says Ingram is on the up and up.

The Compliance Department tells us, “Mark asked if he could visit Joe Haden at his home in Baltimore. We checked with the NCAA and they approved this trip as long as Mark provided receipts for his expenses.”

It’s unclear whether those receipts were submitted, but clearly the NCAA has unanswered questions.

Ingram led the Crimson Tide to the National Championship and won the Heisman Trophy last season.

Ingram rushed for 1,658 yards and 17 touchdowns and tacked on three more scores receiving.
