Oldest college basketball player forced out

It looks like Ken Mink's collegiate basketball career is over - at age 73. Mink is believed to be the oldest college basketball player in history. But the Tennessee Junior College Athletic Association has declared him ineligible to play for Roane State. The association says there are problems with the school's reporting a change in his academic courses.

Roane State will also have to forfeit a game in which the senior citizen scored two points. Mink first played college ball 52 years ago. But he was expelled after someone soaped the coach's office.
