Cardinal football players have been suspended for an
unspecified number of games starting with the game at
Iowa. The suspensions are necessary due to
improper use of the textbook loan program which violates
the NCAA extra-benefits rule. So far total of 43
athletes in 6 sports have been identified including
athletes from football, softball, men's basketball,
women's volleyball, men's tennis, and track. The NCAA
has not concluded their investigation so it is possible
the list may grow. Football team members serving
suspensions are Charles Wynn, Bryan Williamson, Cortlan
Booker, Temidayo Macarthy, David Gater, Randell Means,
Tom Kellar, Justin Schneider, Donta Smith, David Denham,
Louis Johnson, Amara Koroma, and Lavell Mosley. |

Suspensions For The Remainder Of The Season Released (09/09/2005)
|
|
FROM BALL STATE
SPORTS INFORMATION
|
| MUNCIE, Ind.
– Ball State University announced the remaining
suspension schedule for football student-athletes who
violated the NCAA extra benefits rule by obtaining
textbooks not required for their own courses through a
book loan program or by receiving improperly obtained
textbooks from other players. |
| Game
suspensions for the remainder of the season are: |
| Bowling
Green, Sept. 10 – Scott Bradtmiller, Eddie Burk,
David Denham, Brenton Martin, Ryan McKee, Todd Racine,
Jordan Trask and Lavell Mosley |
| Auburn,
Sept. 17 – Cortlan Booker, David Denham, Louis
Johnson, Amara Koroma, Martin, McKee and Donta Smith |
| Boston
College, Oct. 1 – Cortlan Booker, Eddie Burk, Amara
Koroma, Lavell Mosley and Donta Smith |
| Western
Michigan, Oct. 8 – Cortlan Booker |
| The football
players were among 45 student-athletes found to have
violated the rule during an investigation concluded last
May. |
| The university
announced last week that it is conducting an ongoing
review of possible extra benefits violations within the
book loan program. The review includes additional records
for 2004-05 not examined last spring as well as records
for the four previous academic years and the current
semester. |
| Ball State
athletics director Bubba Cunningham said that although
working rapidly is a high priority, ensuring accuracy and
due process are even more important. |
| "The
university is moving forward as quickly as possible to
analyze all the types of records from all the years that
the NCAA has recommended," Cunningham said. "But
it is imperative that we take the time necessary to be
accurate and to allow student-athletes their right to be
heard." |
| Cunningham also
noted that the university has received clarification from
the NCAA on what constitutes an extra benefit under the
book loan program, and this is a major reason for
re-examining 2004-05 and expanding the review to other
academic years. |
| Cunningham said
that until the review has been completed — which is
likely to take several weeks due to the volume of
information to be examined and the number of
student-athletes to be interviewed — neither he nor
other university officials will be able to offer much
additional comment. The university will announce the
results of its review upon completion. |
| Cunningham
emphasized that the extra benefits violations under review
by the university and the NCAA are limited to the book
loan program. The investigation has not uncovered any
other type of violation. |
