A newspaper in Alabama is reporting that an investigation has revealed conflicting grades recorded on former UK basketball star Eric Bledsoe's high school transcript and a night-school grade report.

According to a story published Tuesday in the Birmingham News, the records from Parker High School call into question whether Bledsoe should have been eligible to play his one year at the University of Kentucky.

According to the story, Bledsoe's four-year transcript shows he made an A in Algebra 3 in night school as a senior by receiving a 90 during each of the two sessions. However, a grade report from those night sessions showed Bledsoe was recorded as making a C average, with a low C recorded in the first session and a low B recorded in the second.

By receiving an A in Algebra 3, Bledsoe barely qualified for initial eligibility in college, based on the standardized test score his former coach said Bledsoe made. The NCAA determines a player's eligibility through a sliding scale based on grade-point average in 16 core classes and an ACT or SAT score.
