Well, it's been 10 to 14 days.

I still firmly believe he will play. This is a huge decision for the NCAA. For them to rule him ineligible will be a complete 180 on the very reason they made the rule. He was too young to travel alone, so they had to pay for his parents. His expenses were no different than the kids in the AAU. The NCAA would send a very negative response to the kids outside the US that want to come to play in the states. Of course, the NCAA does many things that are just stupid. I still say, he will play.

I just have a bad feeling anytime the NCAA is involved.

He's going to play. There is no way they are going to say his amateur status is not intact. He may have to sit a few games, but he will play.

Anyone see this?
