INDIANAPOLIS- Butler forward, Gordon Hayward, is in the news again but this time, there is controversy surrounding him. After a solid performance against Michigan State, a report was issued to the NCAA board claiming Gordon was an underaged player.

In summary, we were told the report had proof that Hayward hadn’t graduated middle school. His last true school records date no further than grade 6. “This is a bit of a surprise to us, but in the back of our minds, we always thought he did look kind of young” said an official on Sunday. If everything is accurate on the report, Hayward would actually be a 12 year old, not a 20 year old.

Hayward is yet to take the floor later today for the final game of the NCAA against Duke. The NCAA board had said they would still let him play because it’s too late to instill a punishment at this critical time in the tournament. Also it was said they wanted to see those “Duke douchebags lose”. Punishments may be in order, after the season. Fans and media alike are predicting it may be a ‘vacate all your wins’ penalty.

USC was also rumored to be interested in Hayward initially. Although it wasn’t proven, some fans have been spreading rumors that gifts such as lollipops and toy racecars were sent to Hayward from USC in order to entice him signing with them.
