NCAA Appeals Committee Upholds Penalties Against Donnie Tyndall

The NCAA has upheld a 10-year show cause penalty against former Morehead State, Southern Miss and Tennessee head coach Donnie Tyndall.

The NCAA alleges that Tyndall orchestrated high-level academic fraud during his time at Southern Miss.

Here is an excerpt from the Associated Press:

Don Jackson wrote in a text message to The Associated Press that there were “multiple justifications for overturning this decision” against client, but that the NCAA’s ruling to uphold the penalties “is not entirely unexpected.” The 10-year show cause is one of the most severe individual penalties ever levied by the NCAA.
