The Hawaii State Ethics Commission has requested that the University of Hawaii provide it with a complete list of the travel party for the Sugar Bowl.

A UH spokesman said the school will comply. It released a list on May 23, but 45 names were blacked out.

Executive Director Daniel Mollway said the commission wants to determine whether people were on the trip at state expense but possibly without a state function, which would be illegal.

"What the NCAA allows doesn't trump the state ethics code," Mollway said. "Not at all. What they allow we would normally say is irrelevant."
