NCAA upholds sanctions against former SEMO hoops coach

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

06/25/2010 - Indianapolis, IN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - An NCAA appeals committee has upheld the sanctions levied by the governing body against former Southeast Missouri men's basketball coach Scott Edgar.

The NCAA penalized Southeast Missouri's men's and women's basketball programs for violations in August 2009. The issues surrounded extra benefits to players and unethical conduct by Edgar, who was first placed on leave by the school when a notice of allegations was first sent and then fired soon after.

Penalties included three years of probation and a vacations of records from 2006-08. Edgar was also given a show-cause order that restricted his ability to land a coaching position at another NCAA institution.

Edgar appealed his penalty, but the NCAA Division I Infractions Appeals Committee rejected his assertions.

"The findings are not clearly contrary to the evidence presented, there was no procedural error which resulted in the findings, and the facts found by the Committee on Infractions do constitute a violation of NCAA rules," the NCAA stated on Friday.

Edgar was hired in May as the basketball coach at Eastern Oklahoma State College -- a junior college.
