Provo • Junior guard Nick Emery won’t play basketball for BYU until Dec. 5, the Cougars’ 10th game of the 2018-19 season, against Utah State.
BYU coach Dave Rose hopes the other part of the NCAA’s investigation into Emery receiving improper benefits that resulted in him being suspended the first nine games of the season has been completed at least a month before then.
During BYU men’s basketball media day Thursday at the BYU Broadcasting Building, Rose confirmed the “enforcement part” of the NCAA’s involvement is still pending. BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe acknowledged in August that the situation was not totally resolved after the school’s June announcement that Emery would have to sit nine games.
