BREAKING SPORTS UPDATE — The NCAA is pushing back on reports that it ruled six Wofford College basketball players ineligible due to off-campus housing and meal plan violations.
An earlier report by Field of 68 claimed the athletes were suspended for using an on-campus meal plan while living off campus. The NCAA has since responded via a statement on X (formerly Twitter), denying that any suspensions or penalties were issued to Wofford players or staff.
The confusion appears tied to player expectations around housing. Several transfers were reportedly promised upperclassman dorms with private amenities but were assigned underclassman housing instead. The coaching staff allegedly gave the players the option to live off campus and pay rent — which they did.
Meanwhile, head coach Dwight Perry and his top assistant are no longer with the program, adding more questions to an already murky situation.
