Lipscomb Sports Update

So.

For the second consecutive year, Lipscomb's baseball team is one of 23 to be docked scholarships for lack of academic performance. Lipscomb is the only school in the Atlantic Sun to incur any penalty of any sort under the NCAA's Academic Progress Report.



Granted, the penalty is less than last year's (1.01 scholarships, down from 1.07). But still. And if things don't get better next year, the whole athletic department can be placed on probation.

But they're winning, so I guess all is forgiven?

In the interest of equal time, credit to Frank Bennett and the women's basketball program for earning a citation from the NCAA for outstanding academic performance, long a hallmark of Bennett's program dating back to the NAIA era.

Alma mater hail.
