This is not good...

Hearing there are some eligibility issues with some of the new additions to the BYU men’s Basketball team that BYU is working frantically to get resolved with the NCAA. I won’t provide any more details as to who but this could be a huge issue come the start of the season…

I would assume it’s the international players??

Bosko makes the most sense, since he's not 18

Also declared and withdrew from the draft once, and has had a pro career.

I'm certain the NCAA would love to disqualify Fouss, Bosko, Demin, and Keita if

Their thinking was probably that it was worth a dice roll once Mboup's availability was in question.

Now that college players are professionals, that shouldn't be an issue.

What? Basketball players in college who were previously paid?!

Young said something recently in a presser about still trying to find out

When Boskovic signed I wondered about his amateurism since he was a pro.

Oct 15, 1:58pm

College athletes are not amateurs, anymore.

PGVikingDad

Oct 15, 6:04pm

So they could have played pro in the same sport they do in college?

pinolero

Oct 15, 7:46pm

There is no remaining logical reason that would preclude that scenario.

Yes there is or you would have NBA players going back to college. Did they do

I say we just show up and play the games and tell the NCAA to shove it.

Play them anyway and give a big fat middle finger to the NCAA. Drag the case

I don't think we can sue on a Sunday.

Sounds like the ox is in the mire so we should be able to on this one 😉

Oct 15, 6:12pm

My guess is that it’s going to be one or two players at most…

BYU - do what the big boys do. Don’t cooperate.

Oct 15, 1:54pm

And sue. Cooperation has failed BYU every time.

Archaea

Turn the whole law school on the case

KYU

Oct 15, 2:19pm

Cooperation is a sign of weakness to the NCAA. It means they can pounce.

Nobody should ever cooperate with the NCAA; it's kinda like cooperating with the

If it’s involving the BYU admissions dept, don’t count on them

Maybe they're involved w a similar process. A difference, though, might be the length of their careers.

If Zugic is THAT good — why didn't he go in this year's draft? Is he still only 19 or something?

If it's limited to Bosko, I'd be OK with that. Don't get me wrong, I think he

What has Yoeli done now?

Worst case scenario is Egor and Boskovich. No one else should have any problems.

It's because Kalani played Squally Canada, isn't it? I KNEW this would come back to bite us in the end!

All these basketball players losing their eligibility for one freakin bowl game.

Doubt we are working frantically. BYU has probably submitted whatever the NCAA…

I see no reason to cooperate with an inherently corrupt org like the NCAA. BYU

Admit nothing and fight with the NCAA. Cooperation just makes it easy for them to make an example of you.

Interesting. I remember Illinois was in the running for Demin, too.

Illinois did pick up Kasparas instead of Demin. They were teammates.

Ahh that’s right. Praying that this gets figured out quick for both of them

You could totally be right Illinois guys say that they were going after Damon and Caspar was their back up plan. Vinny

Kasparas has been cleared to play BUT their 7'1 big is NOT cleared yet

Do not be surprised if Demin misses games and Bosko misses the season.

Because you know stuff, or you just chuckin stuff against the wall? Doesn't make sense to me why Demin would miss games.
