Greg Sankey asks for courts to uphold the NCAA eligibility rules in Charles Bediako case
On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey has urged the court to uphold NCAA eligibility rules, arguing that Charles Bediako should not be allowed to play for Alabama to maintain the integrity of college sports and their educational mission.
- The hearing regarding Bediako's eligibility is scheduled for Friday, just before Alabama's rivalry game against Auburn, potentially impacting his participation in the matchup.
- Bediako has played four games for Alabama, averaging 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game, with the team splitting those contests 2-2.
- Temporary restraining orders previously allowed Bediako to play, partly due to the NCAA's absence at the original hearing caused by travel issues.
