NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the corruption scandal in college basketball (all times Eastern):
8:47 p.m.
Texas
is withholding junior guard Eric Davis Jr. from competition until
further notice after his name appeared in documents in a federal
investigation into college basketball corruption.
Davis was named along with former Texas players Prince Ibeh and Isaiah Taylor in documents obtained by Yahoo Sports.
Davis received a $1,500 loan from ASM Sports associate Christian Dawkins, according to the documents.
"Winning
with integrity is paramount to Texas Athletics, and we take these
allegations very seriously," Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte
said in a statement. "We expect all of our programs to comply with NCAA
rules, and every year we have all of our student-athletes sign forms
attesting they will follow those rules. Beyond that, we put a great deal
of effort and resources into educating our coaches and student-athletes
on NCAA rules and regulations. Our compliance department is constantly
monitoring and communicating with our coaches and student-athletes, as
we are in this case. We will continue to work through this recent
development and provide further updates when we have the necessary
information to do so."
