It has been a while since Jethro was here. So, we will have to do with Gethro, I guess.

@nuleafjhawk Two mutch funn!

@jayballer73 Well, you are correct: I looked at schedules for Duke, UNC, UVA, ND, and Clemson. I also checked UK.

NONE of their games are currently scheduled for ESPN+, but like us, there are a lot of blank spots in their schedules where the network will be decided later spparently.

But hold your rage: all the ACC schools have between 8 and 11 games scheduled on the ACC network, and UK has 9 on the SEC network. Those are ESPN based operations. Everyone getting those on cable, satellite, or streaming pays some type of fee for them whether hidden or not.

Until we have a Big 12 network available nationwide, just think of ESPN+ as a comparable network you pay for directly instead of through your cable or satellite bill. And also, KU prominently appears on the ESPN+ schedule, maybe more than any other school, which reflects us as a national brand. Pretty good, actually!

Hope this helps.

@rockchalkwyo I think a lift time contract would help Bill in recruiting a lot! He has been looking a little saggy over the years, and what recruit wants to see the jowls, anyway? It would be appropriate for KU to take up the slack…literally.

Sorry, I just love when a typo provides a whole new unintended meaning to an internet post. I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments! And when a typo of mine is food for jokes, let me have it. We need more laughter in this forum.

@wissox He stayed enrolled at OSU in the fall semester, by your initial post. These things are determined by semesters, not the date bb season actually begins, not by weeks, months, or calendar years. The same rule applies to everybody. By your logic, he could stay at OSU sitting out bb for an entire school year, and then immediately play at his transfer school the next semester.

Sorry, you leave during a semester, that semester counts as enrollment in the original school. Same rule for everybody.

He actually should haave kept playing until 1st semester was over. The first sit out is on him. NCAA has the second and third, but they aren’t responsible for all 3.

@wissox And why should that entitle him to skip only one semester? Remember, I think the rule itself is unfair, but this situation isn’t an unfair application.

This is what happened to Frankamp, too. Stayed a few weeks at KU in the fall of 2014, and had to sit out until the end of the 2015 semester.

It is not new–if you accept aid and enroll and attend class for something like 2 weeks, that semester counts. A waiver is often sought where there are compelling reasons for leaving after staying for a couple weeks. Changing your mind is not often one of them.

I think the issue is really that if you start a semester and go several weeks there, you probably cannot effectively enroll until the 2nd semester at the new school. So, sitting out 2 semesters means missing the first semester next year.

I do not see this as an unfair application of the rule.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I read that it started as the “women’s department” of Baylor.

Back when that was the only safe way for a woman to be associated with Baylor.

@Crimsonorblue22 15-0 in '16, 14-1 in '17. They lost in the champ game in '17.

10-0 each season, then 5 rounds in their NCAA tourney.

I just read (in an actual paper printed on newsprint!) that the NCAA has ordered Mary Hardin-Baylor to vacate its 2016 Division III national football championship and 29 victories over the 2016-17 seasons because the football coach let a player use his car for more than 18 months.

Wow, they are REALLY trying to set some strong precedents here!
