St. John's Thomas ruled ineligible for 2014-15

St. John's forward Keith Thomas, an incoming transfer from Westchester Community College, will be academically ineligible for the 2014-15 season, according to a release from the school.

Thomas does not meet the academic standards required by the NCAA for transfers.

"Academic integrity is treated very seriously at St. John's University and we are committed to maintaining high academic standards for all of our student-athletes," said Director of Athletics Chris Monasch.

This storm had been brewing for a while, as the basketball program at Westchester Community College is currently in the midst of a transcript scandal.
