NCAA rules NC State freshman Yurtseven must sit 9 games
RALEIGH, NC (AP) – The NCAA has ruled that North Carolina State freshman center Omer Yurtseven must sit the first nine games after examining his amateur status following Yurtseven’s overseas career.
The school on Monday announced the ruling, which requires the Istanbul, Turkey native to sit the first 30 percent of the regular season and pay $1,000 to a charity of his choice before becoming eligible to play.
The five-star, 18-year-old prospect will play his first regular-season game against Appalachian State on Dec. 15. He will be eligible to practice and play in the team’s exhibition games. He won’t miss any of the team’s 18 games in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
