Evidently they think they have a lot of evidence because this committee was developed to hear cases that are complex and could result in major penalties.

Wrong! This is a punt to the IARP. Other "complex" cases, such as Kansas, have gone to the IARP process only AFTER a Notice of Allegation was provided to the school. IARP is not an alternative to a Notice of Allegation, it is a way of resolving the Notice. The NCAA hasn't issued a Notice because it doesn't have any evidence that it can use under its governing documents to issue that Notice. So instead it makes its accusations public (through a letter to LSU that is made available to the public through public record requests made by the media - I'm sure after a heads up by the NCAA that the letter is out there) and then punts its to the IARP.

This is the NCAA trying to win the PR game because they have no usable evidence.
