If he left in good standing, and with Self’s help, he must have fulfilled his academic requirements. Players who don’t do that before they leave can screw up a school’s APR, and I don’t think they can get a waiver for immediate eligibility. I always have suspected it is a form of mutual extortion.

YOU LIVE IN MANHATTAN ???
Hah! Actually, in Columbia. But not the MU trash heap. The other SEC one. Where people fill a 75,000 stadium even when the team is crappy. There actually are a number of nice restaurants here.
All these posts are making me envious. We have about 10 Waffle Houses, a few Bojangles, and an IHop in easy reach…
@BeddieKU23 Where did you go to school?
@dylans Let’s start over. I was only defending the need to follow procedures to protect people’s rights, and to make any organization follow their own rules. I never took it as an assault on my profession. Forgive me please for the misunderstanding because I didn’t realize my comment sounded defensive. I meant to be simply illustrating how rules and procedures are important, no matter what we think we “know” about how a case should come out.
I think OJ, by the way, was guilty as hell, but the prosecutors deserved to lose because they managed to get important evidence excluded or minimized in importance by how they botched the rules of evidence. A clean presentation with competent non-celebrity-seeking prosecutors would have nailed his ass!
@dylans Maybe it was the sarcastic OJ comment? Oops, I did misread how you used ambush.
@dylans The way you used it suggested you saw no value in it. To me, yes, it is a trigger point to suggest assertions of the right to only have legitimate evidence be used against you is a legal maneuver akin to an ambush. I spent a career trying to protect and respect the rights of people involved in legal proceedings. I discovered that people seem oddly willing to discount the rights of others but are highly protective of their own. If we decide that people who are not innocent therefore have fewer rights to fairness, be prepared to welcome the police at your own door.
@BeddieKU23 Come by Columbia, SC, and pick us up on your way to your first game in AFH when you finally get the chance. I have been promising to take my wife there, and I haven’t been there since 1980. ROAD TRIP!
@Crimsonorblue22 Dunno. Might only delay things. The NCAA might withdraw the Notices and do it again once the appeals are final. If the appeals vacate the trials, the NCAA rule does not seem to allow the use of the trial evidence. But I haven’t studied the whole thing. Better minds than mine–better PAID minds, indeed–will have to cogitate on this. I predicts lots of billable hours for the lawyers involved.
