So it seems that NCAA has taken back the initial year long ban that was levied on Texas PG Myck Kabongo two days ago. According to this early report from CBS Sports, the punishment had been changed to 23 games, likely including the 11 games already missed so far this season. The reports are still early so there could be more details to come.
As an aside, there had been rumours of things that had helped the punishment among and CBS Sports college basketball guy Jeff Goodman tweeted this out earlier tonight ...
Ouch! Pretty serious stuff here.What i am trying to make clear is that Myck Kabongo didn't lie to the NCAA. He did so to university officials in two separate meetings.
I don't know what bearing this had on the overall punishment. And at this point, I think it's a moot point. What should stick is that 1) the process took a hell of a long time; 2) the punishment was incredibly harsh in most educated opinions and there 3) Myck is finally able to get back on the floor this season to ply his game. He should return to the court for Texas' Feb.13 against Iowa St.
Here's to a soon to be freed Myck.
UPDATE: Here is a more detailed look on the new situation from ESPN.
