The University of Cincinnati announced on Wednesday that two baseball staffers have been fired amid an investigation that reportedly could be related to gambling.

Assistant baseball coach Kyle Sprague and director of baseball operations Andy Nagel were relieved of their duties last week.

"On May 8, University of Cincinnati Athletics began an internal review of potential NCAA infractions involving the baseball program," the school said in a statement. "Although the review is ongoing, Sprague and Nagel have been dismissed based on initial findings. UC is cooperating with the NCAA in this matter. Since this is an ongoing investigation, we will not be commenting further at this time."
