Clemson head coach Brad Brownell said, following Friday’s 85-57 victory over Western Carolina to open the season, he was aware the NCAA was looking into a violation concerning redshirt junior David Skara for a violation that occurred while he was playing for Valparaiso in 2016.
The NCAA announced on Friday that Skara will be suspended for the first nine games of the 2017- ‘18 season. The suspension was handed down due to a violation that occurred while Skara was a student-athlete at Valparaiso University in April 2016 prior to transferring to Clemson and serving a year in residence.
