Southern Mississippi says that two of its men’s basketball players have been ruled ineligible as the university continues its joint investigation with the NCAA related to potential violations over the previous two seasons.
The university sent a statement on Thursday saying that Jeremiah Eason and Rasham Suarez are ”no longer eligible to participate.” The university didn’t specify why Eason and Suarez are ineligible.
Southern Miss athletic director Bill McGillis said in the statement he’s ”disappointed for these two young men, our new head coach and our basketball program.”
Donnie Tyndall, who is now at Tennessee, was the Southern Miss head coach during the previous two seasons. Tyndall said he had no comment on the Southern Miss issues on Thursday.
ESPN first reported that the two players had been ruled ineligible.
