The following is a release from Arkansas State University's Athletics Department:
Arkansas State University Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir has issued the following statement regarding an NCAA infraction that occurred within the men’s basketball program last season while John Brady was the head coach.
“Once we learned and confirmed in December that there had been a rule infraction, we immediately self-reported this isolated violation to the NCAA. As a result, our staff fully cooperated with NCAA officials in order to help resolve any outstanding matters. I’m very proud of the way (Associate Athletics Director for Compliance) Joel Weems and our staff collaborated with the NCAA in order to resolve this case with the least amount of penalties. We remain committed to complying with all NCAA rules and regulations, and we fully accept the fine imposed, public reprimand and to vacate one win from the 2015-16 season as our penalty.”
The NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions has issued a press release and public report regarding the infractions case (processed as a summary disposition), which has been resolved. As a result, this ruling will not affect the new era of Arkansas State men’s basketball under the leadership of new head coach Grant McCasland.
