NCAA Announces Reinstatement Decision on Kansas Player Silvio De Sousa

Silvio De Sousa will likely never play a game at Kansas.

The NCAA has declared De Sousa ineligible for the remainder of this season and all of the 2019-20 season because his parent received payment from a university booster and agent.

Here is a release from the NCAA:

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.

According to the facts provided for purposes of the reinstatement request, De Sousa’s guardian received payment of $2,500 from an agent and booster of the school.
