Later that night, Ken received a phone call from the coach, urging him to come into his office. The time was already 9pm, so he was surprised that the coach would still be working this late.
Ken felt his stomach in a knot as he made his way across campus towards the fitness center. It had been a tough couple of days, but he was hoping for some good news since tomorrow was the final game of the series.
As he arrived at the office, Coach Brown was waiting for him by the door and gestured for him to come in. From the look on his face, it was clear that he was not bringing good news.
"Take a seat."
The coach walked over and sat at his desk, pulling out a piece of paper and placing it in front of Ken. It was an email from the NCAA Enforcement department.
Ken read through the contents and almost crumpled the letter in his hand by the time he reached the end. He raised his gaze to the coach, "Are they serious? 24 games?"
