West Virginia Guard Kerr Kriisa Suspended for Nine Games for Accepting Impermissible Benefits at Arizona

Kriisa Allowed to Continue Practicing and Traveling with the Team during Suspension; College's Handling of Case in Compliance with NCAA Guidelines.

West Virginia University has suspended guard Kerr Kriisa for nine games after he admitted to receiving impermissible benefits while at the University of Arizona.
The University's athletic department learned of Kriisa's violation in late August and worked with the NCAA to reach an appropriate resolution.
During his suspension, Kriisa will be allowed to continue practicing and traveling with the team.
Last season, Kriisa averaged 9.9 points and led the Pac-12 with 5.1 assists per game.
Despite his suspension, Kriisa is expected to play a crucial role in West Virginia's upcoming season, which begins next Monday against Missouri State.
