Paul Biancardi announced yesterday that he will resign as the Raiders' coach. The NCAA had slapped him with a one-and-a-half year ban on recruiting after the organization determined his role in unethical practices at Ohio State while an assistant. In two seasons at Wright State, Biancardi led the Raiders to a 27-29 record.
