LeBron James nearly got into hot water as his gift to his beloved Ohio Buckeyes got the all clear.
Phew!
BEATS BY DRE GIFT TO OHIO STATE NOT AN NCAA VIOLATION
Via ESPN:
Ohio State players received a boost from one of their biggest, and arguably most famous, fans Saturday.
Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James helped gift each member of the Ohio State team Beats By Dre headphones ahead of Monday night’s College Football Playoff National Championship presented by AT&T against the Oregon Ducks.
James is a Beats By Dre spokesman and partner. Beats By Dre provided the headphones to the players, but James “helped facilitate the connection” between the company and the Buckeyes, an Ohio State spokesperson said.
The gift was not a violation of NCAA rules.
“The headphones were donated to Ohio State and were distributed within permissible NCAA limitations on awards,” the spokesperson said.
