It's frustrating as a fan, but can't imagine Z's frustration. Even with the initial enrollment issues, sounds like he believes there shouldn't be eligibility issues and he's giving up hope. Why make the effort in the first place?
What was the last Tar Heel or Dookie to be ineligible?
No doubt about that. All he had to do was go to play for Puke, Rughead or UNCheat and he could’ve been playing since game 1.
I really hope he gets his opportunity to play college basketball. And 3.25 is pretty impressive for someone who has academic issues. Just saying
Very sad and a terrible way for NCAA to treat a student athlete. I love Z and his attitude but I'm beginning to really doubt we will ever see him play at UK now.
I have no idea. By all accounts, UK is awaiting word on his eligibility. I will never understand why the process of making such determination is such an ordeal.Do we know for a fact that the NCAA is the holdup here?

While we're not likely to see Z play because of the process, the NCAA probably isn't around for much longer. So we have that! It's no longer about the student-athletes, so there's no need for an entity overseeing such.

If Z is freed. It will be a
The next player ineligible for either school will be the first EVER.
I think it's now clear that there were issues with him being an eligible college athlete. I'm as skeptical of the NCAA as anyone, but I think the issues were too much to overcome. There was even a long delay with him just getting on campus. I feel like everyone lambasting the NCAA in this case is likely misguided or uniformed.
This is completely on the NCAA.
IMO this is worse than them coming right out and saying he's not eligible.

Let's say that's the case. Why not come out and say he's ineligible.
That's where I think the NCAA is going wrong here.
I agree. The same could be said for UK. At this point, just say why.
It's just so ridiculous to me.
The NCAA, who claims to be all about the student-athlete is essentially putting this kid and his future into limbo currently. It's not fair to Big Z.
If I'm him, I'm thinking well just let me know. I can I play here that's great lets go. If I can't play here I can at least go back to Europe and start plan B. Instead he's just sitting there wondering.
I get that UK waited awhile and the NCAA obviously needs time to review everything but I feel like we've gotten past a reasonable review time here.

Someone needs to push back. Straight BS. Every other person has been ruled on I believe. Lawyers sometimes get the ball rolling.
It’s an NCAA issue. UK assumed he was worth the risk and by all accounts he is. We’ve lost nothing. We could potentially gain a lot. The university admitted him and it doesn’t matter if they drug their feet or not. They could have admitted him last year and he still won’t be eligible.
If Z is freed. It will be a
Never been one
Again, he is in the middle of a lawsuit regarding a professional contract. This isn't that complicated. UK admissions advised Zvonomir made it in time. Z committed on the same day one year later than Ugo. It wasn't a matter of waiting too long. Regardless, NCAA has to review paperwork for eligibility. UK admitted him as a student.
If you have an agenda good for you, it doesn't pass the stink test.
Kid has been in school nearly two months and has respectable grades. What else could he be lacking at this point?
Even if he gets denied eligibility, I'd hate it and be skeptical of the decision, but at least we'd all be able to move on. To not have ANY decision at all is simply ridiculous. That's especially true when the young man is seemingly doing everything he can to be a good teammate and college student/athlete.
Got to laugh at anyone here shilling for the NCAA after 40+ years as a UK fan and all that has entailed.
We need some fans in INDY standing outside the NCAA office with signs lol Cmon students, let's get it done!
