That, my friend, is what we call Division I athletics.

If it happens it's rare. We get juco players but not this. Just give him the grades and move on. Everyone knows he'll be eligible next year. What a joke.

Maybe WSU didn't give him the support he needed. I don't know what kind of academic support WSU gives their student athletes, but ISU has a very good academic support division for student-athletes. http://www.goredbirds.com/sports/academ ... vices.html

He was denied admission to WSU based on academics.

OK, well I am glad that ISU has an excellent academic support division for their student-athletes. Perhaps WSU does not have a comparable student-athlete academic support division, but like I said I do not know as I am not familiar with WSU offerings.

Where was that reported? (I understand he was deemed ineligible by the NCAA.)
