This was to be expected and made sense given the bylaws, but the NCAA made it explicit: In baseball and basketball, a graduate student-athlete who qualifies for the one-time transfer exception but initially enrolls as a full-time student at the certifying institution after the first term of the academic year shall not be eligible for […]
Richy Klepal was forced to quit football due to concussions but Florida State will honor his football scholarship offer: “I just got a call from coach Weiner from coach Fisher that they are going to honor my scholarship, which is a huge weight off my shoulders,” Klepal said. “That makes me happy.” Not only is […]
On-campus administrators are worried about the aftermath of the Penn State decision: “So does the whole governing structure come into question?” said St. Joseph’s athletic director Don DiJulia, a former conference commissioner. “Maybe it should be changed, but we need to revisit the practice of the governance process if this vehicle is going to be […]
