Less than two weeks after the NCAA hit the SMU Mustangs men's basketball program with a postseason ban and suspended head coach Larry Brown for 30 percent of the team's games in 2015-16, the program has decided to accept some of the punishment.
Per ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman, the school announced that it will not appeal its 2016 postseason ban or Brown's suspension.
However, according to a letter that SMU President R. Gerald Turner posted on the school's official website, the university does plan to appeal some of the NCAA-imposed sanctions, including the duration of scholarship losses for the men's basketball team and the vacating of wins from the 2013-14 season.
