SMU won't appeal postseason ban or Larry Brown's suspension Posted Oct 13, 2015 For all its tough talk when the NCAA handed down its penalties two weeks ago, SMU won't be fighting the most serious of them. The Mustangs announced Friday afternoon that they will not appeal the postseason ban that will prevent them from participating in the 2016 NCAA tournament, nor will they try to get coach Larry Brown's 10-game suspension reduced.
