Kansas forward Silvio De Sousa declared ineligble for two seasons

The NCAA has ruled Kansas forward Silvio De Sousa ineligible for the remainder of the 2018-19 season and the entirety of the 2019-20 season for his guardian receiving $2,500 from an agent/booster and agreeing to accept another $20,000 from the same individual.

In the official ruling, the NCAA said the money agreements helped secure De Sousa’s enrollment at Kansas, and thus, he must sit out for two full seasons.

University of Kansas men’s basketball student-athlete Silvio De Sousa must sit out the remainder of the 2018-19 season and the 2019-20 season because his guardian received payment from a university booster and agent and agreed to receive additional funds from the same person.
