GCC volleyball coach Roger Majeski has been suspended for an apparent recruitment violation, a spokesman for the National Junior College Athletic Association confirmed this evening.
The NJCAA is also forcing the team to forfeit its games played with the player in question, and the player will be ineligible to play with the team for the remainder of the season. The player is reportedly a freshman who joined the team this year from California.
Mark Krug, director of sports information and media relations for NJCAA, confirmed the details in an e-mail, but said he could not say more about the situation.
Calls late this afternoon to GCC have not yet been returned.
Majeski is a highly regarded coach, having led the GCC team since 1987 and notching more than 800 wins in his career. His teams have made 11 appearances at the national tournament, and he's been awarded Region III Coach of the Year nine times, as well as AVCA Northeast/Southeast Regional Coach of the Year three times. He has coached 14 All-American athletes.

I just wonder why GCC has not
I just wonder why GCC has not made any public comments about a black eye to the school, but can't wait to toot thier horn when any little thing goes right. Ms. Taylor or Ms. Sission should step up and tell the college side of the story and if they plan any other santions against the coach or program.
