Just over a week ago, Oklahoma State head men’s basketball coach Mike Boynton and athletic director Chad Weiberg addressed media following the announcement that the school’s postseason ban would be upheld, following a four-plus year appeals process.
An emotional Boynton did not hold back tears, nor his feelings, on the decision, publicly calling out and naming members of the appeals committee in an address that opened with the phrase, “I’m disappointed, disgusted, appalled, frustrated, but somewhere in Indianapolis there’s a group of people celebrating.”
The NCAA has now fired back.
In a statement released on Thursday, the NCAA blamed OSU personnel for threats made on committee members and implied that the school misstated facts about the infractions process.
