Teddy Hawkins officially to ISU, with an odd exception

[DoubleJayAlum]

Maybe it was. I only said it was via handshake because I can't claim to know how his, or any other assistant's employment agreement/contract is structured.

That sorta begs the following question then ----

How does one know that Ford ever gave a two year promise at all?[/quote]

What "begs the question" is why you are here and why do you care?[/quote]

I'll take that means you don''t have the answer? When unable to answer, attacking the messenger!

Don't really care about the question as Ford is gone and so is Hawkins. Why are you here and care though?

Who is this Teddy Hawkins fellow?

[Aargh]

Who is this Teddy Hawkins fellow?

He's got about 6 aliases and posts here and on the Illinois State board to keep things stirred up.

[Haha]

I heard him say it on 1480 interview shortly after Ford left.

So from the horses mouth so to speak. Maybe Marshall lies, but personally I find him to be refreshing honest and matter of fact in his speak regardless of the topic. So not sure why he would lie about this.

@Pg_Benson: MVC announces Illinois State's Teddy Hawkins can play in all games (including against Wichita State) in 2014-15 season. #isuhoops

@Pg_Benson: MVC commish Doug Elgin said committee reconsider prior decision because Hawkins never enrolled in classes at Wichita State. #isuhoops

@Pg_Benson: Squawking by MVC coaches at Media Day probably played a large role in the decision on Hawkins being revisited. #isuhoops

@Pg_Benson: MVC coaches thought it would not be a level playing field if Hawkins got to play against every team twice except the Shockers. #isuhoops

Here we go again.... Teddy you will be the most hated player in the MVC and it is not because of your skill.

Remember though, Marshall is the whiner and all Valley decisions run through him...

Honestly, I think everyone is about past caring on this issue. Is it dumb that the league has rules that they don't enforce? Yes. Was their "compromise" solution at least as dumb? Yes. Will any of this ever matter in the slightest? Questionable.

"MVC’s intraconference transfer rule that states a student-athlete who signed with one Valley school can’t play with another for two years after starting classes"

What classes did Teddy take at WSU?

That's the question I have at this point. I thought he never was able to take classes because of his non-qualifier status. If that is the case, then how does the rule apply? Again, the part that irks me in particular as a UNI fan is that we were told by the conference that they would not enforce the rule on Doug before we released him. He had not taken any classes but had enrolled for summer school already at the time everything happened.

He signed...taking classes doesn't matter.

Looks like the taking classes part was key.
