Stupid in full exhibition.
It's obvious from your vitriol you're just as biased in rooting against KU as the KU fan base you claim will spin anything to support the kid being declared eligible.
Obviously, any nonsense about Luck being motivated to not clear Diallo because of some clause in Huggins contract is ludicrous. It does appear that Andrew's father is a p*$$poor administrator, because there's no excuse to not have this investigation done before the start of the season. If they just found new information in the past month, that would make at least some sense. However, they decided to alert Diallo only come spring of his senior year, and didn't bother to notify everyone that they had put his highschool on increased scrutiny as far back as 2 and a half years ago?
Making that information public could have avoided all this for any of these blue-chip athletes attending that high school - which included other football and basketball players- such as transfer. I don't understand is how 2 other players have been ruled eligible already by the NCAA from his same high school, and they found those same core classes met the requirements?
Again, if the NCAA has anything else besides a Google search and rooting around on social media, like facebook, to establish a reason to classify his guardian an agent, then they can easily have already made a ruling- they have the proof, and can make it available publicly.
At the least, the information should be provided to the school, Diallo, and his guardian. Nope, they haven't even requested to interview his guardian, or Diallo, or visited the high school to investigate or speak with school officials?
That's what at issue. The governing body charged with taking care of clearance isn't doing anything except drag their feet.
Regardless of what school is involved, it's a dereliction of their appointed duties. If they have the proof, then rule him ineligible before the season starts, and if KU wants to appeal, fine, and then nobody has issues to criticize the situation. Fair or not, then at least why he is ineligible based on the evidence they release is known.
Make no mistake, a big time basketball program backed in full by the athletic department isn't going to rattle cages and publicly call out their governing and oversight body if they weren't certain that they looked at everything with a fine tooth comb and then looked it all again under a microscope to be certain that if they commented publicly about this and being p!$$ed that their not absolutely certain that it's not going to end with egg all over their face and to blow up in their laps.
Why do think the story has become covered so widely- because it's almost unheard of for not only a coach but the entire university's athletic department to come out forcibly and bash the NCAA on record numerous times.
If they weren't certain even just a tiny bit, they may still be irate in private or through backchannels, but you would definitely not see the coach sit down for a press conference and the AD's letter to the NCAA giving the full detail out there for general viewing.
As the saying goes, "A wise man apportions his belief based upon the evidence."
The athletic department of one of the 3 most profitable in the entire country is not going to stake the risk of the fallout over one recruit, no matter how good they may be, and especially when that recruit is virtually certain to only be on campus for one year, unless they know all the evidence and for sure have the high ground before even entertaining the notion of going on the assault versus the NCAA in broad daylight for all the public to witness.
As they say, "Never bring a knife to a gun fight!"
