N.C.A.A. Bars Teams With Poor Grades

The N.C.A.A. released its academic reform data Wednesday, and for the first time issued postseason bans for poor academic performance. The association penalized the Centenary men’s basketball team and the Jacksonville State and Tennessee-Chattanooga football teams. Jacksonville State is appealing its ban.

A total of 85 Division I teams were punished in football and men’s basketball, but only 10 came from the six Bowl Championship Series conferences.
