NCAA rules Kansas freshman Josh Selby can play in December - ESPN
A college athlete has to repay 6 grand, makes sense.Quote:
The NCAA on Friday announced Kansas freshman Josh Selby, one of the nation's top recruits, must sit out nine games and repay the $5,757.58 he received through impermissible benefits to the charity of his choice. Kansas said the true amount was $4,607.58.
Wonder where he'll get that money?:jimlad:Quote:

Maybe they'll let him float a check, or pay using several different credit cards?Quote:

If Kansas feels that it is lower, shouldn't that have been discussed earlier? Otherwise, just be glad that he can play in conference games and shut your mouth.
A-Town you are on the ball tonight!! Dishing out informative threads like no other.
Why is having teammates that take money more punishable than actually taking money?
What a joke.
I presume that the NCAA knew Lucca was a d-bag.Quote:

Surprised he can play this year. Thought NCAA was tough on things like this.
The NCAA Headquarters may have moved out of Kansas, but we all know where their allegiance is.
I'm just as confused as you guys. The 9 games I understand; it's 30% of the games, which is about as bright-line of a rule as you'll get from the NCAA. But, as far as I've seen, there's been no explanation where the 5,757 dollars and 58 cents figure came from. And why is KU's figure $1,150 less, to the cent, than the NCAA's figure?
The NCAA is going to look pretty bad if they don't come out and explain all of this, in my opinion. Parrish, for one, has already jumped all over it - In Selby's case, reward clearly outweighs risk - NCAA Division I Mens Basketball - CBSSports.com
And, still, I haven't seen anything that, specifically, said what Josh did wrong. All I've heard is the vague term, "impermissible benefits." Perhaps that information is coming, but I would assume they would give a justification right away when telling a kid he has to miss 9 games and pay 6 grand.
I guess the Human Fund (Money for People) is about to get $5757.58 richer. Maybe Cecil Newton will give Josh a loan to pay it off.
That's how much KU has already covered for him.Quote:
