Probably German, but it's funny looking back at John Walls..

troubles and how he was allowed to play versus Sidney. Both articles are from ESPN and it's funny how the minimum 10% factor did not apply to him, even though he accepted more than $800.00 per the report. In addition to that, his coach was a cerified agent and therefore he should not even been allowed to play at all.



This is from Pat Forde's article on Oct. 23rd.</p>

Under the guidelines set by the Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement, agent violations can fall under two categories:</p>

• If an individual accepts significant monetary benefits from an agent, his or her eligibility should not be reinstated.</p>

• If an individual accepts benefits from an agent that are not significant enough to warrant permanent ineligibility, the student-athlete will be withheld for the violation and will be required to repay the value of the benefits.</p>

The committee goes on to say that if a student-athlete accepts benefits from an agent greater than $101, the student-athlete will have to repay the money and be subject to a minimum 10 percent withholding condition -- in other words, withheld from 10 percent of a team's regular-season games.</p>

This is from the Oct. 30th announcement from the AP.

<p id="articleTxt1" class="entry-content">
Kentucky point guard John Wall has been cleared to play by the NCAA.

The school announced Friday that the 6-foot-4 freshman must sit out two games and repay almost $800 in expenses incurred during unofficial visits to schools during his junior year at Word of God Christian Academy.</p><p id="articleTxt2" class="entry-content">Wall's status had been up in the air as the NCAA investigated the relationship between Wall and Brian Clifton, his former AAU coach. Clifton was a certified agent for a period during Wall's recruitment, and the NCAA looked into whether Wall accepted any illegal benefits from Clifton during that time.</p><p id="articleTxt3" class="entry-content">Wall will miss an exhibition game against Campbellsville on Monday and the season-opener against Morehead State on Nov. 13.</p><p id="articleTxt4" class="entry-content">"I'm grateful to have this decision behind me," Wall said in a statement.</p>

I dont find it funny at all that the NCAA is that damn incompetent.
Not even getting into sidney (Its been what 2 weeks since we asked for reinstatement??)

But the fact John Wall was allowed to use his exhibition games in his suspension will always be the most hypocritical thing in NCAA basketball enforcement when others
including Riek were not allowed to include those games.

It is a blatant show of favoritism that goes all the way to the top.

One guy, the NCAA has evidence he did something wrong, yet he's cleared in a couple of days. The second guy, the NCAA has yet to produce any evidence of guilt, and he's been sitting for six months. Guess who is who?</p>
