NCAA hammer comes down hard on Southern Miss former coach
April 8, 2016 11:47 am ET
The NCAA has placed a 10-year show-cause penalty on former Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall for his role in USM's infractions case, a source told CBS Sports early Friday.
The NCAA subsequently confirmed the report.
Southern Miss was accused of several major violations -- including arranging fraudulent academic credit and impermissible financial aid after a lengthy investigation into the program Tyndall ran from 2012 to 2014. He led the Golden Eagles to a 56-17 record in those two seasons, then spent one season at Tennessee before being fired last March once UT athletic director Dave Hart realized Tyndall would be charged with Level I violations.
In addition to punishing Tyndall, the NCAA placed Southern Miss on three years probation Friday. USM also received a two-year postseason ban that's already been served, and some scholarship and recruiting reductions. The NCAA's full report is linked here.
