Jamar Smith Kicked Off Team

tornado said:
Here is an interesting thought on Jamar...and being discussed elsewhere....

Presently he is still at UIUC working on his courses, but if he either stays at UIUC and completes his coursework this coming May, and can graduate,
or even if he goes elsewhere, either D-I and sits or D-II and then plays basketball and completes his coursework in May and graduates...
then either way, he is a graduate student, and the new NCAA rule then allows him to go to any other D-I school that'll have him, and be eligible immediately.

Therefore he could play his senior season anywhere that accepts him.

This is the rule that allowed Lon Kruger's son Kevin to go to UNLV from Arizona State and play immediately.

I thought they did away with this rule because of the Kruger situation...

If this is not that case... any idea what I am thinking of???
 
Yes, the rule was recinded by the NCAA.

Many AD's complained that it didn't make sense for a college to give a scholarship for 3 or 4 years to a kid, only to have him develop to the peak of his skills, then transfer and play elsewhere with no penalty. Also, the NCAA was afraid it could lead to abuses, like one school "recruiting" a scholarship athlete at another school.
