PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE SELF REPORTS NCAA VIOLATION
CLINTON, S.C. — Presbyterian College has self-reported to the South Atlantic Conference and to the NCAA that it played an ineligible women’s basketball player in 24 games this season, including 11 conference games.
As soon as the violation was discovered by PC compliance officials and reported to the SAC and NCAA, the student-athlete was withheld from further competition.
PC’s record against South Atlantic Conference opponents in which the violations occurred will be nullified, and the team will be seeded eighth in next week’s 2006 Food Lion SAC Basketball Tournament as a result of these circumstances, commissioner Doug Echols announced.
The matter remains under review by the South Atlantic Conference and the NCAA.
