BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- The end date for Southern’s NCAA postseason ban is still unknown, but Jaguars Athletic Director William Broussard said Monday that he hopes it will come before the end of the current probationary period.In January, the NCAA extended the Southern postseason ban through Nov. 1, but said it could be lifted earlier if the subcommittee evaluating the Jaguars’ Academic Progress Rates case is satisfied that the university has submitted the proper data.
The NCAA instituted a postseason ban on all Southern athletic programs in November, 2013 because the university submitted “unusable data” in its documentation of student-athletes’ APR.
During the past 15 months, the Jaguars have responded to numerous NCAA requests for additional information and instituted new campus-wide protocals for compiling such data. But so far the university has been unable to satisfy the NCAA.
“I don’t think people understand just how much we have to do,” Broussard said as he spoke to the Baton Rouge Press Club on Monday.
