For Immediate Release 10 February 2002
Southwest
Baptist University men's basketball student-athlete Arthur
Trousdell has been declared ineligible following an internal
investigation. He is being withheld from further competition
for the remainder of the 2002-03 season pending NCAA and Mid-America
Intercollegiate Athletics Association ruling. Due to improper
eligibility certification of a college transcript, the student-athlete
competed as an ineligible player. Therefore, to comply with
MIAA by-laws, all games in which the student-athlete competed
as an ineligible player will be forfeited. Southwest Baptist
University is seeking reinstatement of future eligibility
for the student-athlete through the NCAA waiver process.
Trousdell
(pronounced trOWS - dell) led the team with 15.8 points and
6.4 rebounds per game. He was averaging .576 from the field
and .855 from the charity stripe. In MIAA play, the freshman
from Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, was averaging 16.9 points and
5.4 rebounds per game. He was shooting .608 from the field
and .903 from the free throw line.
