The NCAA released details of its charges against the Southern Methodist University (SMU) men's basketball program and its head coach, Larry Brown.

Announced Tuesday, the NCAA formally charged the program with academic fraud, unethical conduct, and a lack of head coach control. For his individual violations, Brown will miss nine games next season.

The SMU Mustangs will also be ineligible for postseason play in 2016. The NCAA also revealed a charge of unethical conduct within the SMU men's golf program.

ESPN previously reported that the SMU men's basketball team was under investigation for improper academic assistant provided to a player. Ulric Maligi, a former assistant coach and administrative assistant at SMU, allegedly helped Keith Frazier, now a junior guard on the team, with coursework to keep him academically eligible.

In its news release, the NCAA mentioned "a former men's basketball administrative assistant" that violated its "unethical conduct rules," but did not disclose who it was.

However, ESPN reported that the NCAA's investigation did not find Maligi to be involved, though he also did not agree to participate.

"A former assistant men's basketball coach encouraged a student-athlete to enroll in an online course to meet NCAA initial eligibility standards and be admitted to the university," the NCAA stated. "After he enrolled in the course, a former men's basketball administrative assistant obtained the student's username and password then completed all of his coursework. The student-athlete received fraudulent credit for the course and, as a result, competed while ineligible during his freshman season. When speaking with NCAA enforcement staff, the student-athlete admitted that the former administrative assistant asked him to provide false information during the interview."

SMU said in a statement that its president, R. Gerald Turner, and athletic director, Rick Hart, would hold a press conference to discuss the matter at 2 p.m. The school also stated Brown would "be available to the media at 3:30 p.m."

Brown was charged with lacking control over his program, as the NCAA holds head athletic coaches responsible for violations committed by staffers, players, and assistants. The NCAA also accused Brown of withholding information of the violations when he first learned of them before lying to the NCAA in a formal interview.
