If nothing changes in the courts, yes he should be back. TJ will have a full breakdown tomorrow.
Thank you for reading Hoosier Huddle
Article being written on this addition (for now) and it should be published today. Quick couple of points...the comparisons and statistical analysis between Sam Alexis and Samet Yigitoglu keep leaving out a major part of the equation: defense. Second, I'm going to focus on what this does to the potential rotations and which players are most impacted (Sherrell, Yigitoglu, Trent Sisley, Clemens Sokolov).
It is still very possible Sam Alexis is unable to play another season and we'll keep that in mind but for now, I think this drastically raises the floor for IUBB this season and it increases the ceiling a bit as well.
Judge says hold my beer for the 2022 class.
Got a spot and 500 grand for you Sam!

LOL there is zero point int he ncaa anymore its simply now pro basketball.
Right now, the path is clear for him to return. IU has a spot and that seems logical. However, these injunctions, specifically the one out of Colorado that granted the entire HS class of 2022 eligibility, have lit a fire under the NCAA as well as the Big Ten and SEC to back the Protect College Sports Act.
The Big Ten and SEC voted tonight to support it and it could go to the floor before Congress goes on recess until Sept. 14 next Friday.
If it passes, it would likely give the NCAA the authority enforcement future rules. It sounds like no matter what the 2022 players should be eligible.
Side bar: The 5 for 5 rule should always have grandfathered in the 2022 class.
The NCAA has become a joke with no power anymore at all. Pretty soon there will not even be requirements you may have 30 year olds playing.
The NCAA and the schools did a lot of it, themselves. Consistent rules over the years instead of arbitrary waivers and rulings. Working out how to pay stipends to players. None of it done... Now it's time to pay the piper.
@scam-likely He can play overseas or with the Noblesville team. Not sure what the pay is.
@openwheel I always thought that if all D1 athletes were paid a stipend...more for FB and MBB, that this could have bee avoided. Maybe not.

I think even knight advocated for that. Even when NIL started I figured it would be some smaller amount not guys making more than some nba players. My gues is in five years the NCAA will have zero power at all and we will see 30 year olds playing for six seasons. You would think at some point boosters would run out of money but that seems nowhere near the case or even close. My guess is it will get alot worse before or if it ever gets better.

This is just a district court judge the NCAA will probably appeal it all the way up the chain if they have too. I have no idea how long that will take but it could be reversed mid season. Who knows.
NCAA saying any coach who takes a fifth year transfer who did not enter portal in the spring will be suspended 1/2 a season?
So, a year and a half or so, for Lane Kiffin?
I find myself rather shocked that the organization guided into their future by Myles Brand, hasn't been very successful.I always thought that if all D1 athletes were paid a stipend...more for FB and MBB, that this could have bee avoided. Maybe not.
