Hours after news broke that Texas Longhorns junior guard Eric Davis Jr. allegedly received $1,500 in payments from disgraced agency ASM Sports through associate Christian Dawkins, athletic director Chris Del Conte announced that the school is withholding Davis from competition.
“We have initiated an internal review of the recent report that included allegations against current and former University of Texas men’s basketball players,” Del Conte said in a statement. “We are in the process of gathering facts, but I did meet with Eric Davis Jr. this afternoon and let him know that we are withholding him from competition for precautionary reasons until further notice, pending the review of this situation.
