LSU coach: Ben Simmons 'didn't meet requirements' for Wooden Award
LSU freshman Ben Simmons has not been certified by his school in order to be eligible for the Wooden Award, with a source telling ESPN on Saturday that it's for academic-related reasons.
"From what I was told, he didn't meet all of the requirements," Tigers coach Johnny Jones told ESPN. "He wasn't certified by the school to be on the ballot."
Why do people act like Ben Simmons was forced to go to college? Could have made a million bucks anywhere in the world. This was his choice.
