UNDATED (AP) — An NCAA infractions committee panel has ruled former Oklahoma State assistant men’s basketball coach Lamont Evans violated ethical-conduct rules by accepting up to $22,000 in bribes from financial advisers. The NCAA also announced penalties that include a one-year postseason ban for the team for next season. The ruling included three years of probation, a $10,000 fine and a reduction in basketball scholarships for the program. Oklahoma State says it will appeal the ruling. The school says it was “stunned by the severity of the penalties and strongly disagrees with them.”
