per ESPN:

LSU freshman Ben Simmons has not been certified by his school in order to be eligible for the Wooden Award with a source telling ESPN on Saturday that it's for academic-related reasons.

"From what I was told, he didn't meet all of the requirements," Tigers coach Johnny Jones told ESPN. "He wasn't certified by the school to be on the ballot."

LSU spokesman Kent Lowe confirmed to ESPN that Simmons "did not have the necessary criteria to be eligible."

I'm sure he will be really broken up about it when he's announced as the number 1 draft pick :)
