The most recent twist in the ongoing saga of the NCAA versus Donnie Tyndall will be part of the subject of the next episode of "60 Minutes Sports" which airs at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
In his first television interview since the former Southern Miss men's basketball coach was hit with a 10-year ban in April for directing an intricate academic fraud scheme, which the NCAA determined he subsequently attempted to hide, Tyndall maintains the plan was the work of assistant coaches and vows he will continue to fight the charges.
Over the course of the investigation, former Golden Eagle assistant coach Adam Howard was granted immunity in the case in exchange for testimony against Tyndall, who has been adamant that his former assistant only implicated him after having previously told the NCAA that Tyndall had no knowledge of the academic fraud.
