Western Kentucky head coach Rick Stansbury explained why Dontaie Allen is currently sitting out for the Hilltoppers.
According to Stansbury, Kentucky played Allen seven games (a total of 25 minutes) last season when he was ineligible.
“Nothing he has done. Nothing we have done. Kentucky played him seven games when he was ineligible,” Stansbury said. “Their coaches didn’t know it. (UK) compliance didn’t know. So how does the kid know it?
“Nobody can say the kid is at fault for not getting his grades. He didn’t know. If the adults in the room didn’t know, he didn’t know.
