The way I understand it from the statements the NCAA and our AD have made... the data in question is the 2009 APR data that was submitted to the NCAA by SU. That data should have included records dating back up to 6 years (2003). For football and mens basketball, the info that was submitted caused us to not meet the APR standard and those teams were later banned for not meeting those standards (2009-2010, same year as JSU football ban). Obviously the data was incorrect or incomplete or both. If you recall, while our former AD was in office we had our 10 year NCAA review, and the NCAA had issues with the documents submitted by his office. We were given a conditional renewal at that time, and later the NCAA fully approved us after further review. Quite possibly, he fudged some information in order to get it done (my opinion only). Since then, SU has new coaches in both football and basketball, a new compliance officer, a new chancellor, registrar, and a new Athletics Director.
OK, in 2013 the NCAA came back to SU to do a more thorough audit of sorts to review the APR data from 2009. The NCAA does this with 30-40 schools every academic year, and plans to re-visit all Division 1 schools within the next 3-4 years. When they came back, they didn't find what they were looking for. I seriously doubt the records were adequately kept at all during those years (leading up to 2010) before our NCAA 10 year review.
In essence, the new, current SU administration might not have even known there was a previous data issue because the data was never requested until 2013. It is equivalent to one of us starting a new job, then 2 years later being asked to provide detailed information about a project that ended 3 years before we got the job. If the previous guy in your position kept good records, we'd be fine, but if not, the company is in hot water.
