    Everybody, actually read the short article. It's four sports and includes tournament ineligibility, scholarship reductions, and fines. Yikes.

    Yeah it's pretty hefty. Like you said, short article and it lists the number of wins and titles vacated by sport.

    Wow- wonder how much they were making. With everything going on would guess likely they are done with sports.

    Did a little digging. The violations were about academics, not money. SFA was incorrectly calculating teams' APR scores. The only credits that are supposed to count are those in your degree track plus required general ed courses. SFA was using all credits in the calculation. When they adjusted for the discrepancy, four teams fell below the team APR minimum. Altogether, 82 student-athletes played when they shouldn't have. I hope at least one person was fired at SFA, because this was a pretty big fucking screw up and one that should have never happened.

    Right- if they werent making much money in the first place, or loosing on sports. Be an easy couple excuses to not bring them back.

    That’s too bad. They kinda emerged as a up-and-coming football program this last year.

    To me the article makes it sound like they got the death penalty. No sports at all for a year, not just postseason bans...

    Probably more so an issue with clear writing than the truth.

    Are you thinking of Austin Peay? SFA hasn't been good in football for a while now. IIRC they had some decent teams in the late 90s to mid-2000s. The last time they made the playoffs (2015-ish???) they got obliterated at the UNI-Dome in the first round.

    What this really hurts for them is their men's basketball program. They were a powerhouse mid-major. Multiple tournament wins over the last 5 years and a win at then #1 ranked Duke this past season.

    So does that mean the Duke win doesn't count?
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
