Then why are you holding Marquette to standards that do not exist anywhere else in major D1 college basketball?
because Marquette is "SPECIAL" because we went there.  Duh.

Because I expect more from my alma matter than the minimal standards that exist elsewhere.  What Texas Tech does, and what standards they have, is their business.  I literally do not care.

If those are truly your expectations, that is your prerogative. But I'm sure you already know in the back of your head that they are unrealistic.

Fair enough.  But don't forget that MU has given him a full ride for next year.

I understand my expectations put MU on a competitive disadvantage.

Last night, I had my best night of sleep in weeks.

Seriously. 8 hours, didn't even wake up in the middle of the night to pee, which is a rarity. (If you are under 45, your time is coming!)

I just can't get outraged by any of this. I'm looking forward to filling that scholly with an outstanding player and getting back into the tourney next year.

Go Warriors!

Fair enough. To each their own. I at least respect the fact that you know you can't have it both ways.

It's about solidarity - I just unfollowed all of MU's twitters and I will never buy ice cream from a truck again.

Well and I do think that if Wojo had made it clear to Wally that he expected more in the off season, and Wally wasn't willing to do so, that Wojo was right to pull the scholarship.  So if that was the case, then I'm good.

We're going off the rails here so if somebody wants to start a Superbar thread that'll be great but let me say this.  Chick and I have served on the Parents' Association Board for 6 years.  Helicoptering is the single greatest complaint every administrator voices.  Bat crazy stuff.  I think chick has mentioned a few examples here on scoop through the years.  Like they're in 2nd grade and can't tie their shoes stuff.

I remember when my mommy sent out a tweet after I didn't make the team.

If she wants to say MU just used Wally, then I guess you could say Henry just used Marquette. Was the main guy on offense, jacked up a lot of bad 3's, and didn't play a lick of defense. MU didn't make the tourney but he gets to be a lottery pick. I'd say the Ellenson's came out alright

Kudos on the pee free night.

Hopefully, we can get our 6-9 pogo stick on board soon.

Exactly.  This is nothing but great news.  Wojo clearly has a very good feeling that someone who will contribute greatly to our program is coming in.

With you here 100%.

The full-ride track scholarship (which MU does not do, generally speaking, they only give out partials) shows to me that MU takes Cura Personalis very seriously. They are making sure this kid completes his education tuition-free, even after being cut from the team that gives out full-rides.

Under NCAA rules, Men's track has only 12.6 scholarships.  Based upon the current roster on the website, there are 49 athletes dividing those scholarships.  I'm not familiar enough with NCAA track and field to know whether an elite, all-american athlete like Wally would typically get a full ride or not. 

I'm glad that he's still getting a scholarship at Marquette and can finish his education.  I don't know enough about what was said a couple years ago to know one way or another exactly how I feel about the entire situation.

Sounds like we stole from the poor (track team) to give to the rich (the Ellensons) for the benefit of the super rich (basketball program). Cura Personalis!

He is a legitimate contender for an NCAA scholarship.  He deserves a full ride, which is what I am sure many other schools would have offered him.

Perhaps we should split some of our basketball schollies in half so that instead of 13 4-5 star players, we can have 10 4-5 star players and 6 2-star players.
Have some patience, FFS.

Q: When was the last time we had 13 4-5 star players?

A: Never.

But you're right, I'm sure that the 4 track guys on partial aid who lose their schollies so that the basketball team gets a "do over" on scholarship #13 don't feel ripped off at all.

Do you know for a fact that any track guys lost their schollies, meaning they had them, but not any more?

Also, if we could give our schollies to all 4 and 5 star players., would you be in favor of the split-out?  That is what I was really asking.
Have some patience, FFS.

C'mon man, no school gives out partial basketball schollies. Ya either piss wit da big dudes, or not at all, ai na?
