An Alabama judge denied Charles Bediako’s request for an injunction against the NCAA earlier this week, a ruling that signaled an end to the Crimson Tide center’s controversial second stint in Tuscaloosa. Bediako, who played for the Crimson Tide from 2021 to ‘-23 and spent the last three years in the G League, is now ineligible to play for Alabama after appearing in just five games.
Even though Bediako’s return to Alabama was brief and sparked outrage across college basketball, Crimson Tide coach Nate Oats was steadfast in his belief that it was the right thing to do.
