Sinclair Ruled Academically Ineligible

"James Sinclair is ineligible for the remainder of the year because of academics," announced head men's Larry Hunter in a brief statement.

"It is unfortunate and we share James' disappointment as a basketball family, but we will move forward together as a basketball team. There is serious accountability as a student-athlete both on the court and in the classroom. We take academics very seriously at Western Carolina University."

Eligibility of WCU student-athletes following the 2014 fall semester was certified late Friday afternoon, and Sinclair was ruled academically ineligible as per NCAA standards for the remainder of the 2014-15 season.

Sinclair was a preseason all conference selection for the Catamounts, and is the current Southern Conference Player of the Week, which was his second selection this season.. Sinclair scored 20 or more points nine (9) times this season and was a strong contender for Player of the Year.
