JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The NCAA announced a 10-year show-cause order Friday for former Southern Mississippi basketball coach Donnie Tyndall, listing a series of infractions that included directing his staff to get recruits eligible to play by doing their coursework for them, using a fabricated document to cover up questionable financial transactions and trying to hide potential evidence.

The school's self-imposed two-year postseason ban was accepted by the NCAA and the program will have three years of probation from 2017 to 2020.

The impact for Tyndall is much longer. The show-cause order — which essentially makes him unemployable at the NCAA level — runs through April 7, 2026. Even if he is employed after that date, he must sit out 50 percent of his team's first full season.

The NCAA came down [deleted] Tyndall, who had a 56-17 record over two seasons with the school, including two trips to the National Invitation Tournament quarterfinals. He left for Tennessee in 2014, where he was fired after one season after his involvement in the Southern Miss violations came to light.

Southern Miss had been bracing for significant sanctions after the NCAA's damning notice of allegations released last year. On Friday, the NCAA said Tyndall "acted unethically and failed to promote an atmosphere for compliance when he directed his staff to engage in academic misconduct."

Yet Pitino and Roy Williams will get nothing.

Seriously someone needs to sue the [deleted] out of these crooks.
