The NCAA gave former University of Kentucky basketball guard Eric Bledsoe academic clearance to play at the school after an extensive review, according to a UK statement released on Saturday. The New York Times reported on its website Friday that the NCAA is investigating Bledsoe’s high school transcript. UK’s statement, which was not attributed to any individual, said: “Often high profile student-athletes are selected for an extensive prospective student-athlete (PSA) review. Eric Bledsoe participated in the normal academic review process and also an extensive PSA review by the NCAA Eligibility Center and was cleared academically.”
