SAT Scandal edit

According to an article in Sports Illustrated, an unregistered sports agent said that in 1994 he was paid $2,000 to insure that St. John's center Zendon Hamilton reached the minimum SAT requirement for freshman eligibility.

The article said that after failing to reach the minimum test score nine times, Hamilton traveled to Los Angeles' Lynwood High to take the test on his final chance to qualify. Hamilton will be a senior next semester.

According to the story, Nate Cebrun a 51-year-old agent said that on June 3, 1994, Hamilton met him at the L.A. Marriott the night before the 6-11 center took his last SAT test. According to Cebrun, Greg Vetrone, an assistant at UNLV, and Gary Charles, the coach of Hamilton's AAU team, were also at the meeting in which he received $1,500 of $2,000. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.197.73.211 (talk) 15:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
