I dont see passing on these type of guys as anything principled. Pro or not pro was always a made up arbitrary status.
And lately the courts have basically said college players are pros. Because how is paying a college kid different? It isnt. Yeah, I know, no pay for play, but thats another made up arbitrary status as the NCAA tries for some relevancy. So be it. If they can gain admittance as a student, they are allowed.
Does it suck? Sure, to me it does. But Im not forced to watch or care. I care less than I used to. But I enjoy watching sports. And the badge name still has some association. I assume they do still take classes.
Sounds like Drew wasted his time…and probably pissed off some of his current players in the process. If what I saw from the NCAA Prez is real. He isn’t going to be given eligibility.
***edit…I misread the article. It’ll be interesting to see how impactful he ends up being for Baylor. It’ll also be interesting to see if all these older, high profile coaches that are clutching their pearls right now, stay away from guys like Nnaji going forward.
NCAA needs to name a bball and football commissioner, ASAP. And hire them from outside the NCAA.
@iunorth They really need collective bargaining, but that ain't gonna happen. I'd guess any such negotiation would be result in something far more expensive for schools than what we have now.
@cavanagh You don't have to worry about anything you say to me. I don't take message board talk seriously like that.
How much does the line move if a judge rules him eligible by tomorrow?

Ffs. The next time I hear someone utter the phrase "student-athlete," I might punch that person in the throat.How much does the line move if a judge rules him eligible by tomorrow?
Btw, this guy's "a lot to prove" reasoning is pure bullshit; he's not making much money professionally, so he wants to cash in at the college level. I don't blame him. If it's allowed, why not grab a bag? Just be honest about it.
What's a 20 game contract through the first week of April for O.G. and Ware cost IU?
How good of shape is Isaiah in?

It's not a ridiculous thought at this point.

Too bad Whitney wasnt any good at basketball or he would get interest. Apparently can jump out of the gym at least.
