De'Anthony Melton still sidelined by USC in connection with college basketball bribery case

De’Anthony Melton won’t travel for USC’s game at Vanderbilt on Sunday, according to his attorney, after being held out of the season’s first two games while the school investigates his eligibility in connection with the ongoing college basketball bribery and corruption case.

“USC is doing whatever they are doing in the face of convincing evidence De’Anthony has done nothing wrong,” the attorney, Vicki I. Podberesky, told The Times. “I don’t know what they’re waiting for. It’s disappointing, to say the least.”

A USC spokesman referred to a statement the school issued earlier this month, saying Melton was being held out as a precaution.
