Alabama State is the only SWAC school ineligible for postseason.MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- Poor Academic Progress Rate marks continue to haunt Alabama State's football program.
The NCAA reported Tuesday the Hornets are ineligible for postseason play this season due to poor APR results under former coach Reggie Barlow from the 2010-11 academic year to the 2013-14 academic year.
An ASU graduate, Barlow coached eight seasons from 2007 to 2014 before being fired and replaced by former Bethune-Cookman coach Brian Jenkins.
So ASU won't be eligible to play in the newly formed Celebration Bowl that pits the SWAC and MEAC champions against each other Dec. 9 in Atlanta, NCAA associate Michelle Hosick confirmed Wednesday. An ESPN network is televising the bowl at the Georgia Dome.
