The Big Eight Interpretations Committee has ruled that Kansas State must forfeit its four conference victories for using Norris Coleman, a 24-year-old freshman who has been declared ineligible.

The committee’s action followed the Feb. 27 decision of the NCAA Administrative Committee, which said that Coleman was ineligible to play for the Wildcats since he did not have a grade-point average of 2.0 when he graduated from high school in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1979.

The school said it would protest both rulings.
