Cheatham can't play in Italy

[ChicosBailBonds]

It's a multi-billion dollar organization. Figure it out and get it done.

No, it's not

Not even $1 billion in revenue....bottom line number is quite small after expenses, etc.

Gotta feel for the kid as well. By all accounts he did nothing wrong just the NCAA slow at processing.

Jesus Christ.. 4ever throw them a line of credit.   NCAA needs to tighten their game.

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

The other 4 MU freshmen were cleared so I don't think it's just the slow NCAA.  Must be something in Cheatham's transcript needs to be verified.  Someone mentioned the charter school aspect in this thread.  Think that is causing the issue in some way.

It is the cause but I wouldn't classify it as an issue.  Kids who go to charter schools go through "extra processing".  The fall students have priority (especially football) so all the fall students who went to charter schools have to go through the extra processing which pushes the basketball players way back..  If MU didn't have this opportunity and they were on the normal schedule, people wouldn't have even known about this.

It sucks but it's also a known thing that will resolve itself in the next two months.

My question for you 03eng is why you weren't able to sweet talk your way into the Italy trip as a valuable media member?

Apparently the athletic department doesn't care about the Scrambled Eggs listener....you know...you, Chick, my mom and 2 people in their grandmother's basement

"With Cheatham unable to play during the trip, redshirt sophomore Duane Wilson shifted to point guard along with freshman Traci Carter"
So I guess the plan at PG is the two freshman split time?

Traci is definitely being primed for significant action at PG during the season.... DuWil seems more like a fill-in for Europe.

That's because the last coach didn't value them as much as the previous 5 coaches at MU.

He lost all respect for them once he learned that unlike him, they slept at night.

Revenue is not a bottom line number.  From Investopedia:

"DEFINITION of 'Revenue'
The amount of money that a company actually receives during a specific period, including discounts and deductions for returned merchandise. It is the "top line" or "gross income" figure from which costs are subtracted to determine net income.

I think you're misreading chicos. He had 2 pts - revenues were under a billion &  2) after expenses, change in net assets were not significant.

PS- I think they'll top $1B this year (which ends in a few weeks)

Beh, che schifo ("well that sucks"~in Italian)

[Lennys Tap]

Luckily he valued winning more than the previous 5 coaches at MU did.

So, in no case is the NCAA a "multi-billion dollar organization" as was alleged, got it.

2 things in this article.

1. JJJ changing his jumpshot technique is great news
2. MazosBurger sighting in the comments!

3. Heldt is starting to play some forward. I previously said he will be the back up 4  instead of Anim. Anim will probably play some four, but Heldt will play more

If this happened to Kentucky or Duke, this issue would have been resolved much sooner.
The NCAA never had it together. The NCAA really SUCKS!

I just cannot help but think that there is no reason for the NCAA to not let Cheatnam play. What advantage does MU or Cheatnam get, if he ends up not being eligible? They are actually punishing Cheatnam, if he ends up being eligible.

Completely agree, this rule is BS

Cleared today.

Cleared today.

I thought he was cleared on the last day of italy.
