Centenary May Seek Court Help On Suspension
Centenary College officials say they may sue the NCAA to overturn a two year suspension for a rule that no longer exists. The charge cited an entrance exam standard tied to a 1.6 on a 4.0 scale, roughly a C minus, as eligibility for a scholarship. The NCAA abolished the rule days before the suspension.
