Earlier this week, Western Kentucky announced that Dontaie Allen was being held out of competition due to an issue that arose while he was still with the Kentucky Wildcats.
“Dontaie Allen will not be available while an eligibility matter related to his previous school and conference is clarified,” the school said in a statement. “We hope to have the situation resolved soon.”
Now, Western Kentucky head coach Rick Stansbury has addressed the situation in detail, saying that UK played Allen while he was ineligible last season before entering the transfer portal and committing to the Hilltoppers.
