JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The NCAA announced a 10-year show-cause order Friday for former Southern Mississippi basketball coach Donnie Tyndall, listing a series of infractions that included directing his staff to get recruits eligible to play by doing their coursework for them, using a fabricated document to cover up questionable financial transactions and trying to hide potential evidence.
The school's self-imposed two-year postseason ban was accepted by the NCAA and the program will have three years of probation from 2017 to 2020.
The impact for Tyndall is much longer. The show-cause order — which essentially makes him unemployable at the NCAA level — runs through April 7, 2026.
