NJCAA: NIC To Forfeit Last 2 Years

Item: NIC can play in postsason but must forfeit wins: NJCAA concluded player was ineligible /SMX

More Info: The National Junior College Athletic Association reversed some sanctions against North Idaho College’s basketball program on Thursday, allowing the Cardinals to participate in the postseason if they make it that far. NIC was originally sanctioned by the NJCAA for allowing an international player, Guy-Marc Michel, to play during the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons. The 7-foot-1 center from Sainte Marie, Martinique transferred to Indiana University in 2010 and was ruled ineligible by the NCAA in December.

Question: Has the NJCAA gone too far in their investigation of Guy Marc-Michel’s eligibility by requiring North Idaho College to forfeit all its basketball wins for the last two seasons?
