Southern continues filing NCAA paperwork
Southern sent another batch of paperwork to the NCAA on Wednesday in its ongoing effort to have a postseason ban lifted.
The university met its ninth deadline set by the NCAA in order to allow it to make a ruling in time for the Jaguars men’s and women’s basketball teams to participate in the upcoming Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament and potentially the ensuing NCAA tournament in the event of a favorable ruling.
Southern is attempting to fully document the academic performance of its student-athletes during the past four years.
The NCAA discovered “unusable” data during a routine examination of academic records the Jaguars had submitted, and instituted the postseason ban in early December.
Southern might not be through with its documentation. If the NCAA has any additional requests after reviewing what has been submitted, the university will have an opportunity to respond to those.
