Has Skal been officially cleared by the NCAA.

It's funny because if you read many of the articles that talk about Murrays decision UK and subsequent lineup for UK, many have an asterisk by Labissiere. Guess there are still people that think he may be inelegible/miss some time. We've heard nothing to say he won't play.
I know I shouldn't be, but I am just worried that the NCAA is going to stick it to us like they did Kanter
I am kind of in that boat... But it's still in the back of my mind.
I feel as though the NCAA has no room to f up tho, and now allowing him to play would be a pretty bad PR move, given some of their missteps as of late
Uk haters hope to god skal is ineligible. It's their last bit of hope before we go on another run. ![[devil]](https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/891/1681918.png "Devil [devil]")
The asterisk is a joke.

He is going to be fine.
I would laugh in their face if they tried anything after them turning their back on UNC.

My reasoning on this is if there was even a faint smell on the horizon, the media guys that hate on us already, would be blowing up articles on this. So since its all quiet on the home front, I'm guessing the kid is good to go.
He is eligible and is a part of the team. If UK had a game tonight then he would be starting. The only thing that can happen is that the NCAA comes out of no where and says he is ineligible for whatever terrible reason.
Surely the longer it goes the better. That goes without saying.
I don't get into how much smoke constitutes a chance of fire which is basically how the conversation goes. Some just want the smoking gun which is impossible.
I want no part of any of it. I think he's going to clear I guess, and I'll leave it there and if nothing changed great and if something changes we can deal with it.
That's what worries me about Skal's case. I wouldn't put it past the ineptitude of the NCAA to find something and just sit on it until after the season ends, just to screw with UK.
I know, but the poster asked if a school could be punished because of the actions of the parents
Have always disagreed with this theory. If Skal has done wrong, the being an earthquake survivor should have no bearing on the case.
From everything I have read Skal has done nothing wrong there is some question that his guardian may have tried to see who would be the highest bidder. From that there may or may not be a problem.
For some reason some on this thread think the NCAA is out to get Kentucky and "stick it to us".
That's laughable IMO. Kanter's situation was always questionable because he did, in fact, receive like $33,000 to play international professional basketball. Whether they would have allowed him to pay it back and still play at Washington is a matter of opinion, but the facts of the case were not just made up by the NCAA to stick it to Kentucky.
Cal has been here going on 7 years and has signed a gazillion players, but because ONE player was ruled ineligible after getting quite a bit of money overseas and Wall had to sit against a couple of scrub exhibition teams the NCAA has it out for us? I don't see it. They were fair with Bledsoe regarding the academic rumors. Fair with Davis regaring the Sun-Times rumors. Haven't caused Cal any grief with his one and done guys.
Skal will play if nothing illegal went on. The NCAA won't just come up with some reason to not allow him to. The coaches are obviously confident he's fine and that's good enough for me.
