Mark Cuban has canceled his scheduled appearance at SXSW in Austin. Cuban was scheduled to be a featured speaker on March 10th.

Cuban's cancellation follows a $600,000 fine for his comments about tanking as well as a report from Sports Illustrated detailing sexual harassment allegations within the Mavericks.

Cuban said in an email Tuesday that he cancelled the speech before news of the Mavs scandal. 

Cuban said organizers were unable to schedule a moderator for the featured speech.
