This is a typical example of what is wrong with the NCAA. The let kids come in and play for one year just to get the NBA, they have no intentions of being a student athlete what so ever, and the NCAA does nothing. Now, here is a student who probably stay 4 years more than likely graduate and they make HIM sit out year. Why not help him academically and let him play? Because the NCAA has to put on charade that they care about the student athlete -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

Perhaps by now allowing him to focus more on his academicsrather than atletics for a year and still maintain his scholarship, they are doing him a great service rather than a disservice. (NT) -- TMH, Friday, October 29, 10:28:11am
- That may be an inadvertant by-product of this decision, but NCAA = No one Cares About the Athletes. The focus is on making money, and serving the whims of the "Haves." Anyone think the One Year Wonders at Kentucky are even attending classes? (NT) -- El Duque, Friday, October 29, 11:18:32am
  - I'm not sure how the two rulings are related and I'm not a fan of the one and out philosophy however there may be a by product there too. -- TMH, Friday, October 29, 12:06:08pm
