Link: Former Tide Player Charles Bediako Sues NCAA (Injunction) to Return to Bama

[RollTide-YNWA]

When is the final ruling supposed to be passed down. I thought we might be hearing something today.

 

[Cruiser]

Judge just denied continuing the TRO and he will not be eligible for the next game.

That stinks. Our team is going to go back to being really thin and talent poor on the inside unless Bristow can get healthy and look like he did against Illinois.

Hope Bediako can latch onto somewhere in a pro league and really develop. I was surprised he didn't really seem that much stronger versus when he left Bama the first time. He definitely needs to work on that and developing more skill to his offensive game as far as post moves.

 

[BamaMoon]

Not surprising. We'll miss his impact.

Bummer

NCAA President Charlie Baker released this statement:



"Common sense won a round today. The court saw this for what it is: an attempt by professionals to pivot back to college and crowd out the next generation of students. College sports are for students, not for people who already walked away to go pro and now want to hit the ‘undo’ button at the expense of a teenager’s dream. While we’re glad the court upheld the rules our members actually want, one win doesn't fix the national mess of state laws. It’s time for Congress to stop watching from the sidelines and help us provide some actual stability.”

——————

No Feckless Prez Baker. Common sense dictated not allowing ANY player receiving compensation to play (by that very definition “professional”) in the college game. Don’t come to the podium and lecture the rank and file college basketball fans about “common sense” when your very organization caused this clown show by allowing professional players from international leagues eligibility. YOU and YOUR CRONIES at the NCAA screwed this thing up beyond all recognition. And the high school kids losing out on scholarship opportunities because of it lies at YOUR feet.

 

[ReturnToGlory]

He lost the injunction to continue playing but he can still sue the NCAA for damages, right?

 

[DzynKingRTR]

I hate ncaa and that judge is on the take.

 

[Jack Bourbon]

Cant believe the ncaa head has the gall to run his mouth about anything. Heres an idea—do something

You can't believe it? The ncaa and everyone involved are gutless. There are only rules for some. I guarantee you if this were a basketball blue bloods like Gonzaga or duke or Kentucky, they have no issue with it.

There's a simple solution to this. CNO needs to hire some of these Euro pros and win a championship. Overnight the Euro pros would then be excluded.

Bingo. It’s only a problem now that Bama did it. Unbelievable.

 

[CajunCrimson]

Oh well. We tried. Now watch Bailey get permission. lol.

 

[CajunCrimson]

HS to G League to College - ok
HS to NBA to College - ok
Europros to G League to College - ok

Pretty much. Another nail in the coffin of my fan hood.

 

[JDCrimson]

who went HS to NBA to College ?

I think that scenario is Bailey kid who actually logged minutes in a NBA game
who is petitioning for eligibility in college

Not familiar. Did he play, and for who?

 

[BAMARICH]

Felt like this was a greater possibility when the original judge recused himself. Like someone said, it would be proper for Oats to go get 1-2 Euro guys and stick it to them.

 

[GP for Bama]

I'm not terribly upset by this ruling. Not allowing college then to NBA/ G- league then back to college seems reasonable.
We will miss Bediako to a degree, but we will be ok.
