That explains it while also explaining the NCAA incompetence. Why would Louisville or any school be forced to wait until the end of the season? They should have been able to file for an extension in the fall because they knew he wasn’t going to play.

It is a unique situation but geez the NCAA approved the TE from Miami for his 8th year. They cherry pick way too often.

If what is said is true, it sounds more like a University issue rather than a Khalifa or NCAA one.... Someone did not know the protocol.

I think that is a factor but who did they lose from their pitching staff over the past several years?

Pitching is the main issue since Covid.

The House settlement may calm the waters if NIL becomes actually what it is meant to be. Not many college baseball players will kill it in that world.

This is the kinda stuff that makes it hard for me to care about college sports anymore. At least the playoffs have been fun to watch, aside from the Cavs totally blowing it.

Speaking of former players, Dalton Rushing got called up by the Dodgers yesterday.

Interesting point about former players. I also enjoy following former Cards in the Big Show. I would hope that those guys that have signed major contracts that make them wealthy have given back to their alma mater?🤔
The Program sure could use it. In fact,I wouldn't be shocked if we lose 2,3 or maybe 4 guys to $EC teams after this season because we can't afford them.

That is an interesting point since the only name I see connected financially to former players is Tino Martinez, who didn't play here but contributed because of Lelo Prado.

I know we're going down a fairly deep rabbit hole about the funding of the baseball program, but Mac said on a live interview on the ACC Network a few weeks back that basically the cards(no pun) are being stacked against his program as he has to deal with 'poaching'(his word) of his players on top of trying to deal with the open market that has become college baseball. There's still a sting of the Kroger money not getting earmarked for the practice facility in Mac's derriere.
He basically put it out that he could use some private $$ to help out. At least,that's the way I heard it.

I get that but he had to enter the portal with the intent to play. If there was any question, apparently there was, that should have been resolved while he sat out.

Eligibility is the 1st thing on the checklist.

This makes no sense. He should have been ruled ineligible last year. That means both Louisville and the NCAA missed it? Then timing wise you find out after the portal and recruiting is done?

How many times does Louisville basketball have to deal with I haven’t seen that ever?

He didn't try to play last year but I still think U of L would have check his eligibility status because who paid his tuition, room and board, etc. Was he on scholarship? Did he pay his own way? I may not want to know the answer....

I see him sharing a role with Fru, but I see Sananda at the four with Pryor and Khani. Aly seems to be the only true Center was my point. Though things have become more positionless, and CPK will more than likely run a three guard offense, in some cases 4 with Hadley. But yeah, I hope this is just a baseless rumor with zero merit.
