Long Island University’s nickname might be the Sharks, but it was the NCAA that took a bite out of the school this week.   LIU was placed on a three-year probation by the NCAA following an investigation that found the university’s athletic programs had allowed more than 1,000 student-athletes who were ineligible, did not complete the required NCAA paperwork, or were not properly certified to compete or practice.   The infractions took place between the 2020-21 and 2023-24 academic years as a result of  LIU failing “to monitor its eligibility certification process,” according to the negotiated resolution released by the NCAA on Monday.
