After four years at Northwestern, Johnnie Vassar’s basketball career is still alive.
Vassar, who is currently suing both Northwestern and the NCAA as part of an antitrust lawsuit, will transfer to Tennessee Tech as a grad-transfer.
According to the program release, Vassar is eligible immediately and has two years of eligibility remaining. Tennessee Tech finished 19-14 last season and fifth in the Ohio Valley Conference.
Vassar last played for Northwestern in 2014-2015 as a true freshman, appearing in 18 of 32 games and averaging just 3.9 minutes played per game. A Chicago native, Vassar came to Evanston as part of the talented 2014 recruiting that featured Bryant McIntosh, Vic Law, Scottie Lindsey and Gavin Skelly.
