EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP)—The Great Lakes Valley Conference says it has banned Southern Indiana’s men’s basketball team from postseason play due to alleged NCAA violations reported by the school.

The ban announced Tuesday covers the GLVC and NCAA tournaments.

The conference said the case is pending NCAA review and involves “five secondary violations, including unethical conduct, extra benefits and impermissible contact.” It said the case involved three players during the 2008-09 academic year.

Coach Rick Herdes resigned and the Screaming Eagles forfeited their entire 2008-09 season in May after two players were declared ineligible and an internal investigation found five alleged NCAA violations by the men’s basketball program.

School officials said the alleged violations involved transportation and school work done for student athletes.

    USI was a powerhouse in DIvision II. Bruce Pearl created the monster. If he would have been investigated in the mid 90's he probably would not have had the opportunities he has had to this day. So, more relevant than you non-sports idiots would think.

    Why even mention Indiana State in this conversation? The article clearly says that the school involved is Southern Indiana. Indiana State is a proud Missouri Valley Conference school, and is involved in NO violations. I am not an Indiana State alumni or student.
