Michigan Athletic Director Jack Weidenbach said that three Wolverine basketball players, including two of last season’s “Fab Five” freshmen, had not violated NCAA rules by earning $300 each for appearing at a charity event. Sophomores-to-be Chris Webber and Jalen Rose and senior Eric Riley were paid to sign autographs and judge a slam-dunk contest in Holland, Mich., last weekend. NCAA officials refused to say if they would investigate the players’ participation in the event.
