The NCAA has placed the men's basketball program at Morehead State University on probation for two years for recruiting violations related to booster activity.
The eastern Kentucky college announced Wednesday the penalties do not include the most serious sanctions of a postseason ban or a forfeiture of victories.
Morehead State president Wayne Andrews said in the statement that coach Donnie Tyndall, the 2007-2008 Ohio Valley Conference coach of the year, accepted full responsibility for the violations. This will be his fifth season with the Eagles.
Morehead State finished last season 24-11 and 15-3 in the OVC. In 2009, Tyndall led the Eagles to their first OVC tournament title and NCAA tournament bid in 25 years.
