It was reported yesterday that a judge in West Virginia ruled that any 2+ time transfer who was denied or awaiting word from the NCAA on their eligibility this season would be able to play immediately for the next 14 days....Well, that didn't last very long.
While players are still allowed to play, the NCAA said any of those players that play in this 14 day window will lose a season of eligibility if the ruling is overturned. This means if Jalen Cook plays against Texas on Saturday and the ruling is reversed, he would lose a season of eligibility.
This is a very intriguing situation as some players who were deemed ineligible by the NCAA played yesterday when the restraining order news was announced. Had they known they could lose a year of eligbility, they may not have.
This is just another case of the NCAA being stupid and unfair to their student athletes. There's a reason the fans, player and coaches hate the NCAA, but there's nothing anyone of us can do about it, so they keep doing whatever they want.
Here's a link to the ESPN article that has a lot more in depth information on the subject.
