The Latest: San Diego State provisionally suspends Pope
NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the corruption scandal in college basketball (all times Eastern):4:30 p.m.
San Diego State has provisionally suspended senior forward Malik Pope, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, while its compliance department investigates whether he received a $1,400 loan from an agent.
Pope's name appears in documents that are part of a federal investigation into college basketball corruption. The documents were obtained by Yahoo Sports.
Pope won't travel with the team for Saturday night's game at San Jose State and coach Brian Dutcher isn't sure if he'll return this season.
"This is something we're not used to at San Diego State, obviously," Dutcher said Friday afternoon.
