Oso planning to go pro
The new rules (eff this year) are simple and were announced years ago. His fault.
What are the "new" rules?
NCAA should have nothing to do with eligibility.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Is this kid a potential 1 and done? Will he ever play for Nova?
I could not possibly disagree more. The Universities themselves have shown no willingness to police themselves and minus eligibility concerns, there is zero penalty for a university cheating and enrolling anyone, and ensuring that grades are maintained.
The NCAA hasn't done much better either.
Among others, there is a 10/7 progression rule. 10 of your "core classes" (16 total) must be completed before you start your 7th semester of HS
Define core courses; and when did high schools go on the semester system?
Core courses are defined by the NCAA. See http://www.ncaa.org/student-athletes/future/core-courses for detailsMany high schools have been on semester systems for decades; the NCAA refers to "the Xth semester (or equivalent)"
Guys this is the NCAA reaching down into high school to rule ineligibility. He should know the rules so no sympathy but that doesn't mean the NCAA can't be pathetic at the same time
Look, I,m an old fart, graduated HS in '65. We were not on a semester system as our grading periods were every 30 class days ending with final exams in June. I guess if you decided to take French, German, Russian, or any other foreign language other than Spanish it would not count as a core course for the NCAA. Why limit it to just Spanish, how bizarre?
The schools should police themselves. If they want to admit morons who can't read, that's their deal. Get out of eligibility because you create too many dumb decisions like these.
Yeah, why should the kids even worry about high school. Screw going to classes in high-school. They should just focus 100% on basketball to prepare themselves for college. I mean, really, why go to class ever, focus on B-ball, go to college to get exposure and then go to the pros, or take your token degree and try to find a job.
