Kentucky, and more particularly Kentucky mens basketball, was fined $3,500 due to an eligibility issue that came out surrounding Dontaie Allen.
Allen played in Lexington for two seasons before transferring to Western Kentucky last offseason. He is a redshirt junior.
News broke earlier this week that Allen was being kept off the court by WKU prior to its game against Akron on Nov. 21, which the Hilltoppers ultimately lost 72-53 for their only loss thus far this season, due to an “eligibility matter relating to his previous school and conference.”
As more has come out it has become apparent that the eligibility matter in question was that Allen was ineligible to play in the fall of the 2021-2022 season due to academic standing and grades but took the court anyways.
