PROVO — BYU basketball player Nick Emery will be required to sit out the first nine games of the Cougars' upcoming season, but has been reinstated to the BYU program, according to a decision by the NCAA that was released late Thursday afternoon.
Emery withdrew from school last fall after BYU confirmed the guard had been referred to the NCAA to investigate allegations that he received improper benefits as a student-athlete.
“We are excited to have Nick back with us," said BYU assistant coach Tim LaComb at a recent charity golf event for head coach Dave Rose at the Alpine Country Club.
