Porter Still Waiting for Review of Status

Auburn will prepare for Friday’s Southeastern Conference tournament without suspended star Chris Porter because the investigation into his dealings with an agent still isn’t completed, Coach Cliff Ellis said.

Auburn officials have been investigating the situation since Porter was suspended Feb. 27 for accepting money, but over a week has passed and the school has yet to turn its report into the NCAA.
