Eligibility in question Cooper's availability for the upcoming season remains uncertain while the NCAA investigates whether or not he meets eligibility standards, Pat Forde of SI.com reports. Impact The uncertainty of the five-star freshman's status comes one day after Auburn announced a self-imposed postseason ban for the 2020-21 season stemming from the FBI's investigation into corruption in college basketball. While it's unclear if Cooper's situation is related to the FBI investigation in which former assistant coach Chuck Person was implicated or a separate matter entirely, the point guard will likely sit out games until Auburn receives word from the NCAA that Cooper is eligible to play. Auburn opens its season Thursday against Saint Joseph's.
