CSUB basketball to appeal ineligibility ruling

Bakersfield.com Community - Tue, 06/19/2012 - 23:47

The NCAA will announce Wednesday that Cal State Bakersfield's men's basketball program will be ineligible for postseason play for the 2012-13 season because of poor academic performance.

But CSUB athletic director Jeff Konya said the academic performance rate score of 879 over a four-year period -- it must be 900 or above to ensure postseason eligibility and avoid additional sanctions from the NCAA -- is not accurate and the university is hopeful the NCAA will rescind the ban once it completes an audit of CSUB's information and analysis.

There are events that will be remembered forever by father, child or both. The moment a child was born, the first day of school and the first time driving a car are all very special. One that many fathers will always remember is teaching their child how to play catch.
