Aly Khalifa Ineligible Rumor; Louisville Fan Thinks Mark Pope is Behind It

[Tubbyfan78]

I don’t know the situation at all but in general, I’m pro “let the kid play.”

Pretty big deal for UL. Five less fouls inside to give.

It's still a losing argument. Saying someone is ineligible who was never eligible in the first place, but that the ineligibility will count against them in illogical in and of itself.

Academic ineligibility due to being a foreign student certainly doesn't seem within ones control. He didn't make himself ineligible.

His only recourse is to get eligible. However, counting the time against him in which he is completing the necessary work to get eligible certainly isn't within his control. Nor is it really logical. If you aren't eligible due to academics, then wouldn't it make more sense to tell that person to get themselves eligible and then start the clock once they are?

His injury certainly doesn't appear to be within his control.

A rule simply existing doesn't make it a valid rule. Nor are they following it that closely if you look around the CBB landscape as a whole.

He will get cleared to play because anyone being rational would agree its a really illogical conclusion on the part of the NCAA.

The NCAA's five-year rule dictates that a student-athlete has five years from their initial full-time enrollment to complete four seasons of competition. If an athlete is not academically eligible for a particular year, they are not permitted to compete, and that year counts towards their eligibility clock, effectively reducing their potential playing time.

You have 5 years to complete 4. He enrolled at Charlotte in August of 2020. His clock began then. He redshirted the 202-21 season. He's asking for a 6th year.

I have a strong feeling the rule won't be upheld in this case.

Looks like they picked up an another international player, Mouhamed Camara from Senegal.

Given they are also recruiting Vangelis Zourgris from Greece, I think Kelsey is worried about the frontcourt depth.

Camara a 6-7 forward that picked UL because of how they develop players and they win.

 

[blue cincy]

Cardinal issues... What are you going to do? lol

 

[ukfan041]

Okorafor was supposed to be the next Hakeem, so I’m sure those yahoos will be realistic about Camara lol

This is hilarious,
"I already can’t stand the NCAA for the clear hatred of us..." UL_1986

Does he mean the slap on the wrist for this...

The Louisville men's basketball program faced NCAA sanctions primarily due to two major incidents: a sex scandal in 2015 and a subsequent corruption investigation in 2017. The sex scandal led to the program being placed on probation and vacating its 2013 national championship. The 2017 investigation, which involved allegations of payments to recruits, resulted in further sanctions, including a two-year probation and a $5,000 fine.

Any other fan base would consider themselves lucky they didn't receive an even harsher punishment and possible death penalty! Those morons are delusional! Oh the hatred of poor little brother 😭

It does matter, though. We just had a team of guys playing a 5th year, and now we want to penalize a guy who had only actually played 3. Simply because he was registered as a student athlete. And now we are trying to say that because he may have been cleared and/or participated in part of a seasons practices, he shouldn't be eligible. Again, it's a very weak argument. Simply practicing doesn't mean someone is ready or capable of playing at game level. Nor is it always wise to inject a player mid season to an already established team. He should not be punished for either of those.

Considering the NCAA used to require capable players of sitting out extended periods due to a transfer, I highly doubt they are going to have a solid argument negating eligibility to a player who was sitting out with medical issues, even if he was cleared in January. Simply being cleared to practice or even medically cleared to play doesn't equate to being physically or mentally ready. It also doesn't mean that it's wise to inject a player into an already successful roster mid season.

Where is this general presumption that being able to participate in a controlled and limited practice setting is equal to live game action?

At all levels of sports you hear of athletes who have been cleared to return to practice or training, often times modified, that aren't yet cleared for a return to contact or live game action.

But see, This is exactly the kind of thing UL, Tennessee and the other perennial cheaters do. If he was gonna do a medical redshirt he should not have been practicing with the team. UL will always bend the rules as far as possible. Just getting off double probation, you would think they would be careful. Nope, they knew he shouldn’t be practicing with the team on redshirt but it helps them so they cheat. It gets him experience in their system he shouldn’t have gotten as a redshirt.
Some things never change. Louisville is like a drug addict who says they are clean now. Then your whole house is empty the second you turn your back.
If they declare him ineligible it will probably be due to ULs past offenses. That means the kid pays for them trying to cheat once again. If that happens, I hope every other team uses it against them in recruiting.

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if it turns out he is not eligible.🙃

Be careful, this dude might whoop you.

But see, the thing is, you can be cleared to practice and not cleared to play games. Which was the case here. There was not cheating.

There are rumors that Aly Khalifa has been denied a waiver and the NCAA is ruling him ineligible. Louisville is supposedly fighting the ruling.
One of their fans thinks Mark Pope is behind it. 😂

LOLville has the dumbest fans on the planet.

The plan before he even committed to Louisville was to redshirt. I remember reading it. That sounds totally fishy. We have a guy coming off an ACL who is saying he will be good to go by the start of September. WTH did this guy have to be out 10 months. Fumble fingers?
If he would have just sat out of practice the NCAA wouldn’t be sniffing around. They are probably looking at it because UL had a guy that can practice with the team for 2 months but can’t play a game. Right, that sounds totally legit. He was a project that needed more work.
I never trust anything that comes out of that cesspool.
