No... and we are appealing the 9 games...very good chance it gets reduced.

Very good chance because he had to sit out all of this year which will wind up being 35+ games.

How the 17 does the NCAA come up with 44 games along with the $11,200 as a penalty? I mean that's got to be one of if not the biggest suspension in NCAA basketball history...I'm about to look it up. Be back soon!
