"Shockers' Teddy Allen has appeal denied by NCAA, can't play this season" - ESPN
Dec 7, 2018
Associated Press
http://www.espn.com/mens-college-bas...aa-play-season
"WICHITA, Kan. -- The NCAA on Friday denied an appeal by Wichita State's Teddy Allen to play immediately after transferring from West Virginia, forcing the sophomore guard to sit out a redshirt season.
Allen appealed to the subcommittee for legislative relief, arguing that the transfer was so that he could be closer to his support system in Boys Town, Nebraska. The small village near Omaha provides care, treatment and education to at-risk children with behavioral, emotional and academic issues.
Allen arrived at Boys Town when he was 17 and blossomed into a star basketball player. He signed with West Virginia, where he averaged seven points in 12 minutes per game last season as a freshman.
The decision by the NCAA means Allen will be able to practice and travel with the Shockers, who are off to a 4-3 start, but he cannot play in games until next season."

Wow. A little "old school" teaching message moment (year) from the NCAA. Thought they were leaning a little more liberal these days. Oh wait...maybe they favor "capitalism" (Addias, North Carolina, etc). I'm so confused...FINAL FOURS:

Maybe it's been said previously and I've missed it (admittedly didn't read the entire thread), did the NCAA ever give a reason for this or just say, "nah"? This sounds like a case of me just telling my kid "no" before I even hear the question.
Kid: Hey dad, can I...
Me: No.
Kid: But you didn't even hear...
Me: No.

It is interesting that the NCAA will let kids, who they have evidence of their coaches paying to come play for them, play all season and not see any ramification until after the final four, but a kid who wants to better himself and finds basketball to be one way to do that isn't allowed to play.

What are the terms the NCAA uses to describe deviant programs...."lack of institutional control" or something to that effect? I think that pretty much sums up the NCAA - they're out of control. And if they're spinning out of control, how can they possibly regulate what happens at Universities all over the country on a daily basis? They have no control and no understanding of the potential fallout from all of these incidents. How many schools and shoe companies are involved in the "pay for play?" 50? 100? 200? What school hasn't had their name drug through the mud in the last couple of years? Anyone want to talk Michigan State? How about Baylor? North Carolina? KU? Maryland? Penn State? USC? At some point, small percentages of the fan base will stop caring, and the money will slowly start to trickle away. And when fans stop caring and move on, happily accepting a new form of entertainment to replace what was lost, how in the hell do you stand a chance of ever replacing it? To be completely honest, even I have begun to start losing interest in NCAA sports to a certain degree.

I'm feeling the same way; if the Shockers or an AAC team aren't playing, I don't care to watch. I haven't watched an entire NCAA football game in several years.
