    Ken Caldwell, a 42-year-old Chicagoan, is drawing the attention of the NCAA because of his involvement with UCF.

    Caldwell was the subject of a story that ran on The New York Times website on Friday night detailing his relationship with a UCF recruit named Kevin Ware. Ware rescinded his commitment on Thursday after The Times said he learned of Caldwell's background. The Times said Caldwell arranged conversations between Ware and UCF coach Donnie Jones, which is prohibited by the NCAA.

    Caldwell's name is on the NCAA enforcement radar because of his involvement in the controversial recruitments of several basketball players, and at least one football player, because of his name-dropping of prominent agent Andy Miller, and saying he works for Nike. And because of his multifaceted connections with the University of Central Florida, which has enjoyed some notable recruiting successes this year.
