Auburn announced Jordan VerHulst and Frankie Sullivan will be on administrative leave “until further notice.” The Tigers are already down two players, sophomores Austin Wiley and Danjel Purifoy, due to eligibility concerns stemming from the investigation.
Auburn fired former assistant coach Chuck Person after his arrest in September as part of a federal case on widespread corruption in college basketball. Wiley and Purifoy’s families were stated in a federal complaint as receiving thousands of dollars from Person and an associate.
