Dewan Hernandez hit another NCAA roadblock on Monday, but the University of Miami forward will take his eligiblity appeal one more step in hopes of rejoining the team this season.
An NCAA legislative committee on Monday upheld two previous rulings that said Hernandez, a junior, had a relationship with aspiring agent Christian Dawkins, one of three defendants found guilty of fraud after an FBI investigation into college basketball’s relationship with sneaker companies.
According to his attorney, Jason Setchens, Hernandez has one more chance to have the decision overturned. He and the school will file paperwork to the student-athlete reinstatement committee and hope to get an answer before Saturday’s noon home game against against No.
