Yep, he was still on scholarship.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...lby/index.htmlThere is nothing preventing Kentucky from keeping Kanter on scholarship. The only thing he is not allowed to do there is play basketball.
This is probably reaching, but perhaps this is more of the 'behind the scenes' reason that Duke backed off of Purvis? I know it was said that was because of Suliamon's great improvement.
Personally, he seems like a good kid and probably did nothing wrong. Just something for the NCAA to do to waste time instead of focusing on rampant academic fraud at a certain athletic factory... I mean university.
