Barton scholars seek end to athletics probation over scandal
Heilman said a few individuals cast a dark cloud over the institution as NJCAA and the Kansas Jayhawk Conference kept most athletic programs at Barton College on probation. The college completed two-year probation for the men’s basketball team and hopes a new compliance report will lift sanctions after review in April.
