Bill Self blasts NCAA on Diallo situation

Skal's 'school issues' were related to the Tennessee High School athletic association ruling him ineligible to play basketball related to him transferring schools. It had nothing to do with academics.

Diallo's issues seem to be rooted in academics, perhaps, does anyone really know for sure?

FWIW, if the issue is indeed Diallo's academics, is there any precedent for him to use the classes he's taken at Kansas in the 1st semester as credit toward his athletic eligibility (i.e. any shortfall during high school can be addressed with the classes he's taken in college.) allowing him to be eligible for the 2nd semester?

I don't know why the NCAA wouldn't allow such a solution if that was possible (and would be supportive of this), although I don't know of such an example. Of course maybe it's not just an academic issue with Diallo.

fake classes in cup cake majors thats why. i mean unc gets away with it so why not. but really

here is what i believe and know....diallo has shady handlers that could have put him in any school out there. they picked one that has a reputation and the NCAA has had its eye on.

but no red flags guys. everything is on the up and up.

Lots of shady handlers out there...

Plus, he spent the part of the summer taking additional courses when it came to light that OSNA was on 'Double Secret Probation' with the NCAA
 
Katz was rambling about Diallo at the halftime of this Miami game. It sounded positive (just caught the end of it). Anyone hear it all?
 
The other possibility is that Kansas feels so strong with the two independent reports on Diallo core classes that they are being more aggressive with the NCAA.
 
Sounds like Self has enlisted the media (ESPN, CBSSports) to join forces in an attempt to strong-arm the NCAA into granting Diallo eligibility. This could backfire on Kansas. You don't give ultimatums to governing bodies. Get your popcorn ready.
 
I think it should have been cleared up long before now, but with the stuff Self has gotten away with and we all know the previous players I am talking about, Self need shut up and hope for the best, because he is dam sure has had favorable dealing with the NCAA to say the least. He is acting like a spoiled baby now !

I get it. But NO Kansas fan started the TWO current threads on Rupp about Diallo. This isn't Jayhawks stirring up Rupp. And for Skal, I saw ZERO Kansas fans that were rooting against him. It doesn't become truth when you write a post about it.
So why should anyone believe you. You said his core classes were good, told another poster to "read up" on the subject. You got real quiet after he shut you down with facts.

I doubt the NCAA would take into consideration the fact that Diallo has completed classwork at KU when ruling on his eligibility. I realize the circumstances are different but Derrick Rose, like Diallo, had questions about his initial eligibility. The fact that he did the required coursework to maintain eligibility through his freshman season wasn't a factor when the NCAA ruled him retroactively ineligible.

UNC felt pretty damn strong with their 7 consecutive self commissioned investigations and they're now sitting on 5 level 1 infractions including LOIC. When schools commission inquiries on their own, they're buying a product. Of course, the person selling the product is going to appease. Money is powerful.

There hasn't been NO facts on RUPP about Diallo. I got quiet because I was flying to Maui. His core classes are good according to independent research teams. The NCAA never spoke to OSNA, never visited the school, has relied on false information, never spoke to the guardian, never informed Diallo that OSNA was being investigated. I understand that some UK fans have their mind made up already without the benefits of facts. Perhaps you fall in that category.

So is the truth.

Not really. The NCAA ruled D. Rose retroactively ineligible despite not being able to prove he cheated on his entrance exam. There were no facts used so who knows what the truth was. The only truth is that the NCAA uses selective enforcement. KU should have been given the same treatment as Cal/Memphis more than once in the past few years. In my opinion, Self should send the NCAA a fruit basket for looking the other way, not using the media to shame them.
 
Pick something other than Derrick Rose. They had pictures of a short white fat kid taking the test in Detroit 'named' Derrick Rose. You lose all creditability when you defend Rose and attack Diallo.

Why have I never seen these pics? Where can I find them?

You are the first person I've ever heard make this claim. Unless you produce the pics I call bs.

And Kansas should have had their 08 championship stripped. I mean, had you not won the game it would have been Kansas, not Memphis, that lost its entire season. I don't believe Kansas has ever won a title without being on probation or going on probation? Correct? That's an incredible record.

There is zero proof that Derrick Rose didn't take his test. There isn't one account of the incident that indicates someone other than rose. Hand writing experts either said it was him, or they couldn't say. Not even the FBI could confirm one way or the other.

You would think if some 17 year old other than rose was taking the test it would be easy to prove, especially by seasoned hand writing experts for the FBI.

Not the case.

You were right. I just confirmed with WWW that the kid below did in fact take the test for Derrick Rose. You got me on this one.

The NCAA sent out a public warning about OSNA and haven't accepted classes from there for a couple of years now. Oh, but the NCAA never visited OSNA.

Wow. Amazing to see a fan from a rival board spend so much time trying to build his own credibility and then flush it all away with a single ill-conceived claim.
 
And I understand the joke...but the real joke is that UNC is still playing basketball and UL is still recruiting players. How can the NCAA turn a blind eye to Hookers or not being a student-athlete but want to see the homework that a 6th grader turned in almost a decade ago in Mali.
You should ask your congressman and Senators why this can happen. The only opinions the NCAA seems to care about are those of politicians, the press, and the courts.

good luck. again...baghdad bob stuff. ku fans are not living in reality. its what happens when in 12 season you go to just 2 final fours. you start believing in things to make yourself feel better.

I'm pulling for the guy to get cleared because I'm not a horrible person, but sorry, I'm not going to pretend like Kansas fans haven't rooted for UK players to be deemed ineligible and for there to be multiple investigations into Cal's "shady tactics" during his time here. In fact, they've been one of the more vocal fanbases against us since Cal's first day here.
 
Take this how you will, BBN. The NCAA exec in charge of the Cheick Diallo case used to be at West Virginia. He gave Huggins a contract that gives him an extra 25 grand every time he beat Kansas.

He is also...Andrew Luck's dad.

Ain't life weird?

They also determined that only six of Diallo's courses qualified as core courses, he needs 16 total. According to them, it looks like he's about two years behind on his academics. Not looking too good for the kid.

If that's true...he should not be allowed to play.
 
Did the NCAA really determine Cheick's guardian was an agent by looking AT HIS FACEBOOK?

Because if they did by the NCAA's rationale I am a professional drinker.
The letter written by KANSAS states that the rationale used to determine that he is an agent was internet searches AND facebook. The letter also states that his high school has been under scrutiny by the NCAA for 3.5 years but it was too late for Diallo to transfer once he was a senior and found out that his academics may come into question. None of this makes much sense and I am sure that this letter does it's best to make Kansas and Diallo the victim. If the NCAA released their side of evidence, I doubt we would see many Kansas fans over here...
