West Alabama is forced to vacate wins and is disqualified from the GSC Tournament, because they used an ineligible player during the year. Their record is now 6-21 (0-19)

Glad the UNA Men's and Women's teams beat them tonight for the last time! Roar Lions!

Yes, great to go out against ol' Livingston with some wins. But I've never hated them too much. I actually wish them well going forward.

Looks like we are officially are a #6 seed in the conference tournament on the men side, playing UWF. The women are #2 and playing UWA.

This is a bad situation and I feel terrible for UWA's players.

A UWA fan told me this on the D2 MB:

It’s a long story but the cliffs notes version is: Stillman lied about the status of a former player multiple times and only confessed when the former coach admitted that they lied to NCAA enforcement staff.

Stillman completed and sent paperwork to UWA compliance staff that said the player did not participate in team practice at all when in reality he practiced all year. Stillman gets off scot-free bc they are an NAIA member and the UWA players that didn't lie get to suffer the consequences.
