NCAA imposes violations on Southern Miss

The NCAA handed down its “penalties and corrective actions” on Southern Miss after a nearly two-year investigation stemming from former coach Donnie Tyndall’s tenure on April 8.

“Today is a good day because it is behind us,” said athletic director Bill McGillis. “We needed to get this decision behind us to really, truly [move in a positive direction.]”

The violations given to Southern Miss include show-cause orders for the former staff members, forced the school to vacate wins and a reduction in basketball scholarships, among other things.
