Doyel - Banks’ future uncertain
[b]Banks' future as a Bearcat uncertain Jan. 6, 2005 By Gregg DoyelCINCINNATI – Cincinnati freshman Vincent Banks will not play this season and his status as a Bearcat in the future is uncertain, SportsLine.com learned Thursday night.
The NCAA rejected Banks’ appeal for initial eligibility, but hasn’t rule on his status as a potential partial qualifier. If he’s not declared a partial qualifier, Banks will lose his scholarship and possibly would return home to Georgia.
If Banks leaves campus, it is possible he won’t return. [/b]
