BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - Leading scorer Andy Robinson was suspended
for three games by the University at Buffalo on Friday for posting
an advertisement on the Internet last spring to pay someone to
write a course paper.
Buffalo coach Reggie Witherspoon said the suspension will cover
the Bulls' first three regular-season games. Robinson, a senior
guard who topped Buffalo in scoring last season, has resumed
practicing with the team after being suspended in April.
"He has done everything asked of him from the university,
division of athletics and men's basketball program to atone for his
actions, and has learned and grown from his mistake," Witherspoon
said in a statement.
The suspension was handed down after Robinson acknowledged he
placed an ad on the Facebook.com marketplace Web site, offering to
pay $40 or more for someone to write a course paper. News of the
advertisement was first published in the school's student
newspaper, The Spectrum, which led to Robinson's suspension.
Robinson has since completed the paper on his own and
apologized, saying, "I take full responsibility and realize I must
regain the trust of my teammates, fellow student athletes and
coaching staff."
