Winston Shepard, a freshman men’s basketball player at San Diego State University will be suspended three games for receiving impermissible benefits. That by itself is not too notable. As Mark Zeigler notes, Shepard is just the latest basketball player to be suspended this year. And Shepard’s violation, having a car loan cosigned by someone he […]
On Friday, UCLA said it was considering an appeal (an interlocutory appeal if you were a legal scholar) of the NCAA’s decision to rule that men’s basketball student-athlete Shabazz Muhammad was ineligible and needed to be reinstated. Now it seems they might not appeal that decision and move on to reinstatement. Maybe: Instead, the school […]
Brad Wolverton of the Chronicle of Higher Education takes a look at online courses, typically completed over the course of a couple weeks, that are used by athletes and schools for eligibility purposes.

The NCAA has accepted the penalties Texas Tech self-imposed for practice violations committed last year under then-head coach Billy Gillispie: Hocutt said the NCAA contacted Tech late last week and notified the school that the violations were deemed secondary, and no further action would be taken on top of the penalties Tech had already imposed […]

Two of Indiana’s freshman men’s basketball players, Hanner Perea and Peter Jurkin, were suspended for nine games because of impermissible benefits provided by Mark Adams, who operates both A-HOPE, a foundation which brings basketball players over from Africa, and the Indiana Elite AAU team.
