When Going To College is a Sham

Purdue-Calumet has canceled the remainder of its men's basketball season and accepted the resignation of its coaching staff after eight of the team's 14 players were declared academically ineligible. The northwestern Indiana school will assess the program and make improvements before next season, said Rob Jensen, vice chancellor for health, recreation and sports, in a statement Friday.

The NAIA Division I school had an 8-5 record before canceling its remaining 16 games. That included a Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference postseason tournament.
