Pac-12 coaches this week are voting on all-conference awards. Obviously, this comes at an interesting time.
Two of the conference’s top players – Arizona’s Deandre Ayton and USC’s Chimezie Metu – have surfaced in the FBI’s investigation into the sport. Both big men have remained eligible. That’s not the case, however, for Arizona guard Allonzo Trier.
After testing positive during a January drug test, the NCAA declared the standout junior guard ineligible. Arizona announced it would appeal, but Trier already has missed two contests. Will Pac-12 coaches penalize Trier for possibly missing the season’s last four games?
