In an email sent out to students, faculty and staff Friday afternoon, SMU President R. Gerald Turner announced the University’s appeal of NCAA sanctions handed down last week.
SMU has decided to appeal three parts of the NCAA sanctions:
- The duration of scholarship losses in men’s basketball and men’s golf and the duration of recruiting restrictions in men’s basketball.
- The penalty level applied to men’s golf and resulting post-season ban both for the team and for individual competition.
- The vacating of men’s basketball victories during the 2013-14 season due to the participation of a student deemed ineligible by the Committee.
