MIAMI (AP) For Miami Hurricanes junior Dewan Hernandez, the season that never started is over.
The NCAA said Monday that the 6-foot-11 forward must sit out the remainder of this season and 40 percent of next season because of his dealings with an agent.
Hernandez responded by saying he’ll turn pro this year rather than remain at Miami to play part of the Hurricanes’ 2019-20 season.
Hurricanes athletic director Blake James called the ruling disappointing and unfair.
The NCAA said Hernandez agreed to receive monthly payments from the agent and accepted other benefits from him. Hernandez sat out the first 19 games of the season awaiting the ruling.
It’s uncertain whether Hernandez will be selected in the draft. He averaged 11.4 points and 6.7 rebounds as a sophomore.
