WKU's Morton resigns amid NCAA allegations

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) Western Kentucky has announced that former Hilltoppers assistant Jake Morton has resigned as director of basketball operations.

The NCAA in February said Morton committed three recruiting violations as a Miami assistant between October 2008 and April 2009. The sports' governing body also said he accepted at least $6,000 in supplemental income from convicted felon and Miami booster Nevin Shapiro between October 2007 and October 2008.

Western Kentucky hired Morton as a Hilltoppers assistant in June 2011. He was re-assigned to director of basketball operations following the 2011-12 season.
