On April 8, 2016, the NCAA imposed a 10-year show-cause penalty on Tyndall, to run until April 7, 2026 – tied for the longest ever imposed on a head coach. This means that any NCAA member school that wants to hire him during this period will have to “show cause” for why it shouldn’t be sanctioned for doing so, and could incur severe penalties if he commits another violation during this time. It also stipulates that any penalties imposed on Tyndall will follow him to any NCAA member school if he is ever hired again. According to the NCAA, Tyndall told his assistants to complete papers for players, and also arranged payments to players and tried to cover them up. The NCAA deemed Tyndall’s violations to be as egregious as those committed by Dave Bliss at Baylor 16 years earlier; Bliss is the only other head coach to be slapped with a 10-year show-cause. In an unprecedented move, the NCAA required any NCAA member school who hires Tyndall during his show-cause to suspend him from coaching duties–effectively banning him from coaching at any NCAA member school until the end of the 2025–26 season. This was very unusual since Tyndall would have likely found it difficult to return to the collegiate ranks in any event while his show-cause was in effect. A show-cause usually has the effect of blackballing a coach from the collegiate ranks at least for the duration of the show-cause; most schools will not even consider hiring a coach with such a severe penalty on his record. In another unusual move, the NCAA decreed that if Tyndall ever coaches again at an NCAA member school after the show-cause runs out, he must sit out the first half of the first season after his return. USA Today called it the most severe penalty that the NCAA has ever meted out to a head coach.
