The NCAA’s Infractions Appeals Committee upheld a postseason ban and other penalties against the Oklahoma State men’s basketball program. OSU appeared before the NCAA Infraction Appeals Committee on Feb. 7.

“I recently noted that the time taken for a decision on our appeal was unfathomable,” he said. “So too was the outcome, not to mention incredibly unjust and unfair,” said OSU basketball coach Mike Boynton.

“We are profoundly disappointed for our student-athletes, none of whom were here at the time of this case,” said OSU athletic director Chad Weiberg. “This is an unprecedented decision by the NCAA. There are other strikingly similar cases that did not include postseason bans and had only minor penalties. We had a rogue employee carrying out actions that benefited him alone and he went to great lengths to assure his actions were undetectable. He was terminated when we learned of his actions.”
