Many of you probably don’t know the names of some of the other UNC players who were involved in the scandal earlier this season. Well there is finally some good news for some of the young men who were accused of rules infractions by the NCAA. One of the players, Devon Ramsay is now a winner because of the results of hard work by his mother.
Ramsay played in the first four games of the 2010 season but missed the last nine after officials found his e-mail exchange with tutor Jennifer Wiley regarding a three-page sociology paper in November 2008.
According to news reports, the NCAA ruled him permanently ineligible. This in essence is a ban for life by the NCAA. But all along, Sharon Lee said her son Devon Ramsay was being punished simply for turning to a tutor whose job was to assist athletes with their work.
Lee said her son, too, was confident when UNC appealed the NCAA's decision. But she was afraid he was being naïve and wanted to do everything she could to ensure the outcome she thought was proper.
