Jan 9, 2016 The Kentucky Wildcats Basketball Program has reported a NCAA violation involving who else but their biggest rap fan, Drake. According to Kentucky Sports, the Toronto rap star has allegedly committed a “Level III” violation involving “preferential treatment” with one of the Universiy of Kentucky’s basketball players. According to the report, the violation happened at an after-party following Drake’s recent concert in Chicago. Someone from Drake’s management recognized an undisclosed UK ball player, and invited him to meet with the star. The two talked for three-to-four minutes, and took a picture. The player, currently undisclosed, may possibly be UK guard Tyler Ulis, who ended up posting a picture with Drake that same night. Ulis is from Chicago. Because of the minor violation, Ulis was deemed ineligible for a while. However, he was able to return to practice and play with his teammates in October. This isn’t the first time Drake has been in trouble with the NCAA. In 2014, he was issued a cease and desist letter from following his appearance at Blue Madness that same year.

Jan 9, 2016 if its like the old one, its basically him supporting a team and going to their games makes players wanna join that team so its unfair
Jan 10, 2016 Yeah the influence is too strong. Makes Kentucky look like a destination uni where you can meet superstars.
Jan 11, 2016 This is old news. He was reinstated October 2015, they're just reporting it now. Besides, Ulis is a sophmore, so it isn't actually a recruiting violation. Just seems like UK is getting out in front of it before the NCAA unfairly makes it a big deal.
