Something is rotten in Jackson State baseball. First the Tigers forfeited four victories and their SWAC East championship. Now the Tigers have been forced to wipe out the rest of their wins for using two more ineligible players throughout the season. They also have been thrown out of the SWAC Tournament which will be played May 18-21 at Trustmark Park in Pearl. Coach Mark Salter has been suspended with pay while the school investigates.
Salter should pay the price for this, but he shouldn't be the only one. How does this happen? One of the two latest players was found to be academically ineligible. The other was never approved by the NCAA Clearinghouse. How did these two get on the field? JSU has some explaining to do.
