TheA_Bomb Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 23 minutes ago, thatskablamo said: And UNC has subsequently lost to ACC behemoths Virginia and Georgia Tech since Walker was cleared to play. And he got absolutely leveled by a Tech kid which sealed the W for the Wreck on Saturday. If you’re a fan of UNC football, you’ve seen this story play out before. And Mack Brown is usually the one driving the car when the brakes fail. Are you serious? Mack does lose head scratchers about once a season but he's taken UNC places they have rarely been. So maybe you need to tap the brakes on your hot take mobile. Point still stands NCAA sux and other schools even big programs are having issues. Guaranteed UNC's compliance person filed the paperwork correctly. Not so sure about SLU's former employee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are still multiple 2x transfers waiting to hear. This just isn’t SLU. You have zero clue on this one. Our guys are behind all of those waiver requests and it's not because we aren't a power 5 program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when there’s a new pro team a couple blocks east from you and not only do you have to compete with the state schools, but also the newest D1 school in the metro area with football and hockey. They’re in trouble, but don’t seem to care…and you know what, why should we ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why Kentucky is a valid comp when the timeline is completely different: The NCAA is screwing programs over by dragging these decisions all the way into the season. That's inexcusable to me, given that with the small size of basketball rosters, a single waiver could change the entire strategy for a season. However, it can also be true that SLU dropped the ball. It's not necessarily either-or. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you factor out Ezewiro's waiver to have the number of players with unclear eligibility that we have is evidence enough that someone f*cked up.

longtimelistenerfirsttimec Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 you may not like the way slu does things like over pay a coach or put up a 26 million dollar palace for athletes or the belief here that no one with a iq over 50 can be hired buy said athletic department but to say that they do not care is only your point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3star_recruit Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I'm beginning to wonder if the NCAA has cleared any international recruits who have needed a waiver in the last 4 months. Did they just take the summer off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
