INDIANAPOLIS – Bo is a go.
Butler unexpectedly announced that Bo Hodges, a transfer from East Tennessee State, has been ruled eligible by the NCAA and will play in Saturday’s game against Xavier at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The release came two hours before tipoff.
The NCAA had ruled Hodges ineligible but reversed its decision upon appeal.
“Without going into specifics, much of the last year has been tough for Bo personally and academically,” Butler coach LaVall Jordan said. “While his situation has been more difficult than most and goes beyond the hardships of COVID-19, he is not alone as almost every student-athlete and student has been impacted in some way.
