CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (AP) -- Southeast Missouri State University has fired men's basketball coach Scott Edgar.

The school said it terminated its contract with Edgar on Tuesday. He had been on administrative leave since the fall.

Southeast Missouri received a notice of allegations from the NCAA concerning possible major violations involving the men's basketball program in October.

The university said the NCAA will take up the case at an April 17-18 meeting and declined additional comment.

A phone message left for Edgar seeking comment was not immediately returned.
