The NCAA absolutely sucks.
The logic behind their decision to deny Oklahoma State’s appeal and declare them ineligible for the 2022 NCAA Tournament (and per conference rules, the Big 12 Tournament) makes no sense whatsoever.
According to Matt Norlander, Oklahoma State’s postseason ban “is believed to be the first in NCAA history wherein a school has received a ban without being assessed one of these five major violations: head coach responsibility charge; lack of institutional control; failure to monitor; any recruiting violation; academic fraud.”
On what earth does that much sense? South Carolina, who was also involved with Lamont Evans have received much less severe punishment.
