USC has declared sophomore De’Anthony Melton ineligible, according to his attorney, as the school continues to investigate his connection to the college basketball bribery case.
Melton has been held out of USC’s first 10 games as a precaution and will not travel to Hawaii this week with the rest of the team for the Diamond Head Classic.
“Apparently there are some other issues that have cropped up,” Melton’s attorney, Vicki I. Podberesky, said Wednesday.
Podberesky was unsure of the date USC declared Melton ineligible. The versatile guard wasn’t initially suspended or ruled ineligible.
A USC spokesman didn’t immediately comment.
