No, not for his fantastic shot-blocking abilities or his fashionable hair. Instead, it looks like the NCAA is continuing to investigate his recruitment for the past few years, centering around the question of his eligibility.

Baldi said the N.C.A.A. officials asked him not to reveal the specifics of the conversation, which is common practice.

The NCAA is also investigating Noel’s relationship with a former substitute teacher who may have ties to sports agent Andy Miller.
