The NCAA has imposed one of its strictest punishments on Centenary for failing to successfully progress student-athletes to graduation: the Gentlemen are ineligible for post-season play next season. The team scored consistently below 900 on the NCAA’s APR standard for academic progress. If the team does not improve, the NCAA could strip the Gentlemen of their Division I status. Although the post-season ban is a significant measure, it likely won’t matter much for the Gentlemen — since the NCAA started measuring the APR in 2004, Centenary has won only 35 games in five seasons and no more than 10 in any season.

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
