This falls under the category of worst news for your Thursday, but Mary Jo Perino let us know today that the SEC doesn't like, and is questioning John Wall's relationship with an agent. From what she says, as long as he pays the money/benefits back, he could only be suspended for 10% of this season's schedule.
Apparently, John Wall's AAU coach was an agent for a year under FIBA (the international governing body of basketball). The NCAA equates this relationship as Wall accepting benefits/money from said agent, even if there was no actual monetary exchange. Ladies and gentlemen, the NCAA!
The University has been aware of this issue for quite some time, so its not news to them or the SEC. There has simply been a delay with a few amateurism issues for Wall and incoming Mississippi State frosh Renardo Sidney.
Well, we had a good year.
Happy Thursday!
ESPN - Wall eligibility issue
John Wall was quite impressive in his debut, and he looks like a potential All-American candidate and top 5 NBA draft pick next year.
ReplyDeleteCousins and Wall are so sick as only Freshman. They have a chance to bring home a title this year, either way I think they will both bolt to the pros next season.
