Non-surprising news of the day

I honestly didn't even know this was a question. Had to be a formality.

Alright, 2 for 3 so far. Now let's get Royce White eligible.

C'mon NCAA, daddy needs a good basketball team this year.

**CyinCo** · 09-15-2010, 06:16 PM

He graduated. This is simply acknowledgement of the new rule.

Oh, I was unaware you worked for the NCAA.

I didn't either. It seems like a given that a kid who graduated with no disciplinary issues would be able to transfer without issue.

Royce White on the other hand... I would be absolutely shocked if he was cleared to play this year. Objectively speaking, a kid who gets kicked off a college team for disciplinary reasons should not be able to just transfer and play the next year.

if we could get royce in there too this year, things could be looking REAL nice for this upcoming year!

The NCAA does allow you to get suspended, then kicked off your team, transfer to a new school, and start playing without sitting out..... as long as you move closer to a sick grandmother.

Just ask Baylor.

It's a good thing he's eligible or we would be shorthanded in the backcourt.

Karma turned the day Creighton hire their new coach.

Seems like NCAA is starting to churn out some rulings...We heard about Godfrey on Saturday, Anderson today. Does that mean Royce's ruling is right around the corner?

Ha. I don't. If I did, Royce would be playing this season.

Seriously, though. About 2 or 3 years ago the graduated senior rule was put in place. An athlete is allowed to transfer without penalty once graduated to attend a grad school of the athlete's choice. This was an Educational move by the NCAA.

I don't know why his eligibility was ever questioned. This is the letter of the rule.
