Council Resurfaces in Court for College Return | College Basketball News

Melvin Council Jr., the former Kansas Jayhawks guard who initially dropped his NCAA lawsuit, is making a bold legal comeback by refiling in New York—where his team believes they’ve got a better shot at winning. After starting college later due to a dismissed high school case and being blocked from other schools, Council’s fight centers on proving he never signed or got paid for an NBA Summer League stint, which the NCAA says cost him eligibility.

If cleared, he could even join another program, sparking potential bidding wars for his services. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
