Just got this from Mr. Brand

Mr. Carlson,

This will acknowledge your email to President Brand. I am forwarding to you the statement released by our public and media relations office late yesterday to clarify inaccurate accounts in the news media about the Lucca Staiger situation. I hope it is helpful.

Recent media reports from the Des Moines Register and other outlets regarding the initial eligibility of Iowa State freshman Lucca Staiger are inaccurate.
In these press reports, it has been stated that Iowa State has filed an appeal with the NCAA regarding this student-athlete. This is not accurate. In fact, the NCAA did not receive the facts of the case from the school until yesterday (Tuesday, November 6). The NCAA is now reviewing these facts and has not yet issued a decision. Thus, an appeal has not been filed.
The NCAA has a longstanding rule regarding what constitutes a professional team. A student-athlete cannot compete on a professional team without a potential impact to his or her athletic eligibility at the collegiate level. It is well known among our member colleges and universities that if one person on a team is paid for the athletic performance, the entire team is considered a professional team.
The NCAA will consider the individual circumstances of this case – as it does with all initial eligibility cases -- when considering if or how the student-athlete’s eligibility should be impacted.

That does not sound good.

I dont get it. I suppose the info was given to them, they just chose not to read it in a timely fashion.

That is a bunch of CRAP!

Something isn't adding up here...

I just received this email from the NCAA regarding Staiger..... Not quite sure how to take it.

I received the exact same e-mail just before. Kind of ridiculous--but what I'm most aggravated by is the fact that the school didn't get the information to the NCAA until yesterday!

Forward it to the DMR. It would be interesting to see them get into it with Brand...

I agree, get this forwarded to DMR, KXNO, etc.

So was Iowa State lying this whole time?

Send it to Pollard too!

Does this mean they never finalized the initial decision in the first place, of they made their decision and penalized him before they had the facts of the case?

We're going to get dicked here people, no doubt about it.
