    This is probably the correct ruling. IIRC, the rule specifically used the words "starting classes". If true, that makes the original ruling a swing-and-a-miss, besides being without precedent. Is it too much to ask to get it right the first time?
    No. He should have had to go to a Juco to get eligible first. That would be the correct ruling and follow current rules.

      BTW I cringe each time this thread is resurfaced. I get concerned that their arena has collapsed or something.

        That is incorrect. Prep school is an optiin where the athlete pays his own way and does not start his elivibility clock. A very good option if the athlete can "afford" it. Juco is an option wherec the athlete can and does receive a scholarship, plus earns college credits. The eligibility clock runs during Juco.

        An athlete can also enroll in a four year college to become eligible. The athlete does not receive an athletic scholarship and his eligibility clock begins. This option is rarely ever used for many reasons. It is, however, the option Teddy took.

        There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

            Ok MVJ, I agree but don't understand. Are you disagreeing, agreeing with me, or both and adding to what I said?

              I disagree simply because you said he should have "had" to go to Juco to get eligible. He can and should go any route he chooses, the route he took probably was not in his best interests, but it was the route he took.

              Call me an eternal pessimist, but I also think there was and is underhanded things taking place that has him at Illinois State. Idon't, for a second, believe he is paying his own way. I believe Muller recruited him knowing exactly how this would play out. I believe a booster is paying Teddy's way this year and Illinois State is doing this out of almost desperation and in a dirty way to lo lock a guy down that they wouldn't be able to get otherwise.

                No, Kung, just their program.

                    Classy fanbase, huh? They can't even rejoice in their good fortunes. They're more concerned about rubbing it in Marshall's face, as if he was the one making the decisions.

                    What a bunch of losers. Only thing they can take solace in when you're a fan of that dumpster fire of a program.

                      I love how they think that Hawkins is going to change everything. I think the problem with the redbirds runs deeper than just one player.

                          Yup, I think we should make it a point to inform every new Illinois State signee that if they want out of their commitment and would like to attend another Valley school, they just need to enroll in prep school one extra year which will nullify their NLI and release them from their contract with Illinois State. :)

                          Of course any signee at Illinois State under HCDaaaM has to be dumber than a box of rocks, so they won't understand anyway.

                            Middlebrooks has been suspended indefinitely for "conduct detrimental to the team". Didn't make the trip to Frisco for the RedBirds tourney there.



                            He's going to miss an actual game, so I guess it must be something worse than punching a girl and resisting arrest.

                            Gotta wonder if Ford is questioning if he did the right thing.
