NCAA bans SMU from 2016 postseason, Larry Brown for 30 percent of games
Posted Sep 29, 2015
The NCAA has banned SMU from 2016 postseason play and has suspended Larry Brown for 30 percent of the team's games this season due to a lack of head coach control, a source close to the situation said. The school also will be hit with nine scholarship losses over the next three years. This marks the third time a Brown-coached program has been sanctioned by the NCAA, with the others happening at Kansas and UCLA.
