University of Wyoming officials began an investigation into allegations that former Cowboy forward Fennis Dembo accepted cash payments before his senior season.
The allegations, contained in a story published in the Rocky Mountain News, were attributed to the high school coach of a recruit who visited Wyoming last fall. The story alleged that Dembo, now with the Detroit Pistons of the National Basketball Assn., was seen receiving cash on two occasions.
“Nothing like that happened,” Dembo told the newspaper. “No way. I didn’t get no money under the door. I wish I would have.”
