Houston Basketball Clear Of David Salinas Issues, School Claims

Sam Khan of the Houston Chronicle reports that an internal review by the Houston Cougars has found no compliance issues related to David Salinas, a Houston-based financial planner and university booster who ran the Houston Select AAU team.

Salinas, 60, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Sunday. At the time of his death, Salinas was reportedly under investigation by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for a series of failed investments on behalf of his clients, which included several high-profile college coaches.

"After our initial internal review, we have not discovered any compliance issues related to David Salinas and his AAU Houston Select program," UH athletic director Mack Rhoades said in a statement. " Our hearts go out to those people affected by the happenings of this past week."

According to the Chronicle, Salinas donated over $200,000 to UH athletics between 2000 and 2010, but the Cougars had not signed a player from his Houston Select team since 2002.
