CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — The NCAA has suspended Illinois center Kofi Cockburn for the first three games of the season.
The punishment comes after he sold apparel and memorabilia before new regulations that allow athletes to participate in money-making ventures went into effect.
The Associated Press preseason All-American is set to play his first game Nov. 22 against Cincinnati in Kansas City, Missouri, according to the school’s announcement Monday.
