The school has been attempting to satisfy the NCAA requests for additional and corrected paperwork regarding the academic progress of student-athletes dating back to 2009.
The ban is most significant because its men's and women's basketball teams each are in first place of the Southwestern Athletic Conference and contending for automatic bids to the NCAA tournament. Three other winter sports — men's and women's indoor track and women's bowling are also in jeopardy of missing the postseason if the school cannot file the adequate documents in time.
Southern athletic director William Broussard and his staff issued the following statement: "We are collaborating with the NCAA and developing strategies for providing usable data in a timely fashion."
