Membership has it's privileges. If you transfer halfway thru the season, and you go to KU, you have to wait until the spring semester of next year to play ( Cunfliffe ). Not so with NC St:

If you receive a scholarship at a college, receive benefits from the college while there, and then transfer, you have to sit out a year ...unless you transfer to an ACC team. Then you are immediately given the green light to play right away. One rule book for all of us- another for the ACC:

@KUSTEVE the Mack one seems fair as he didn't play in any games. Harris played in 14 games for Missouri and if there are extenuating circumstances they certainly aren't explained in the article. :thinking:

@KUSTEVE @approxinfinity

The NCAA did not want to go on record as saying Harris played for Mizzou, not a real college, but you know that is what they are thinking.

Usually the immediate eligibility things are associated with tragedies (transferring to Evansville bb) or drastic punishments (fleeing Penn State fb), but for Mizzou it may just be a recognition that anyone wanting to escape has to be smart enough to go to a better school.

@mayjay LMAO. That is a brilliant point...Moo U is not a real college....

Actually, Blake Harris is originally from Chapel Hill, NC and he is moving to Raleigh, NC which is close to home (30 Miles) likely due to family situation for which the NCAA has granted waivers before. I take it hometown school UNC did not have room for him.

He is definitely not a UNC level player.

@BShark

Correct, I was being nice about it. :smile:

This is excalty why I believe nothing will come of the FBI probe. The NCAA will do nothing to ever harm the big money machine that is the ACC and SEC. We’ve seen the loop holes for football players being paid and basketball players taking fake classes, basketball assistants being child molesters. As long as the NCAA is around those conferences will be able to as they wish with no consequences. Coach K could shoot his wife and coach from jail with no issues.

College Basketball Deep State! :-)

Under sovereign private oligarchy ANYTHING is possible, even in college basketball.

Presidents and leakers can be assassinated without consequences.

$30 Trillion can go missing at the Pentagon without consequences.

Elections can be stolen without consequences.

Foundations can be used as bribery covers without consequences.

Millions of innocents can be stampeded into weaponized refugee vectors without consequences.

Pedophile rings can operate without consequences.

Addictive drugs can be dumped without consequences.

Nation states can be sacked and looted without consequences.

Torture prisons can be operated 18 years without consequences.

Is it any wonder a two tiered transfer rule can exist in D1?
