Fordham University is imposing a four-game suspension for Keith Urgo, men’s basketball head coach. The Fordham men’s basketball program is in an ongoing National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) investigation with regard to potential recruitment violations.
The suspension will begin on Jan. 22, and current Associate Head Coach Tray Woodall will take over for Urgo as the interim head coach. Urgo will miss the Rams’ next four games of Atlantic 10 conference play: Loyola University Chicago on Jan. 22, Duquesne University on Jan. 26, La Salle University on Jan. 29, and St. Bonaventure on Feb. 1.
Very few details have been issued to the public regarding the NCAA investigation, though the program aims to fully cooperate with the NCAA over the course of their investigation. In a brief statement on Fordham Now, Bob Howe, associate vice president for media and public relations, announced the news.
“Fordham has and will continue lending full cooperation to the NCAA during their investigation, including following the NCAA’s bylaws to maintain confidentiality. Therefore, we’re unable to share any more details on the matter at this time,” Howe wrote.
