ISU's Wilson cleared to play for the Bengal men

Ben Wilson

The NCAA has reversed its ruling from earlier this year and cleared Idaho State junior Ben Wilson to play for the men’s basketball team.

Wilson, a 6-foot-5 junior transfer from North Platte Community College, had been ineligible because of a violation of NCAA amateurism issues. ISU appealed the decision earlier this season and received notice of the new ruling Thursday.

Including ISU’s game Saturday at Northern Arizona, the Bengals have 11 games left in the season. Rather than playing this year, Wilson will redshirt the rest of this season and have two years of eligibility left starting in 2014-15.
