KSU vows to fight NCAA suspension
Kentucky State University officials insist no further punishment for basketball coach Lucius Mitchell will be approved, even if it means probation for the entire men's athletic program. Athletic Director William Exum, an NCAA Committee member, says more at stake could affect the program. Board of Regents chair Joseph Leone says no further punishment. Mitchell welcomes public awareness of his one year suspension, while remaining on campus as a teacher with limited team contact. The case stems from alleged payoffs to former KSU All-Americans Elmore Smith and Travis Grant after pro signings.
