Kansas’ Diallo cleared to play on Dec. 1

On Nov. 25, University of Kansas men’s basketball student-athlete Cheick Diallo was cleared to play in the school’s Dec. 1 game.

The university provided new information to the NCAA on Nov. 20, including an independent review of Diallo’s coursework. Based on both the independent review and the Eligibility Center’s existing information, the NCAA approved his initial eligibility waiver.

“Our goal is to have eligibility decisions made prior to the start of a student-athlete’s season,†said Oliver Luck, NCAA executive vice president of regulatory affairs. “However, this was a complicated case involving international transcripts and a high school that remains under review. Additionally, staff considered a complex set of circumstances regarding amateurism.â€

Based on the amateurism review, the NCAA concluded that Diallo received a limited amount of extra benefits. Therefore, Diallo is not eligible to play for five contests, including the four games Kansas has already played.

So Diallo received "extra benefits" but remains eligible to play in all but five games.

Kansas is going to run away with the league title this year imo. Good opportunity for us to finish second though.

My opinion is a little different.

"Kansas is going to run away with 3rd place in the league this year imo. Good opportunity for OU to finish second though."
 
All the more reason to destroy them.

Absolute pillage, a dethroning of epic proportions.

AWD isn't exactly the most optimistic poster.

That's understandable when talking about football, don't really get it referring to the basketball team though. Some people just prefer to expect the worst I guess.

I just figured that I could offset it with all my rainbows and sunshine.
 
Tuco was hedging earlier saying Diallo isn't a make or break type of guy for KU this year. Let's see what he has to say now...lol.
 
Obviously this makes KU better but they still have issues in the post. If McKay and Niang bring their A games (and don't rack up fouls early) Iowa State can have a decent shot. Otherwise KU would probably win those games.

So finishing 2nd in the league below a team that has won 11 straight is expecting the worst? What kind of world do you live in?
