I did not know that about Thad Matta's leg. He's a young man, that's too bad and complicating given his profession.

Syracuse could stop some of this stuff if it came forward about how and why Melo was suspended. Everybody is allowed to assume the worst.

They're not allowed to, by law.

Academic ineligibilty can't be revealed? I thought it was only medical information. Believe me, if it somehow benefitted the school, the reason would have leaked already.

I know someone close to SU athletics and the reason he missed those games earlier was academic reasons but it stems from a medical issue.

If Ohio St beat UConn, we'd be reading the same article about us.

News flash - Fab Melo is an indifferent student.

His academic issues stem from the fact that he doesn't give a s*** about school.

That's not a medical condition.

Cognitive Constipation? I think he could get a doctor's note for that and be excused for an exam or two.

A different tune from the Bob Ryan column posted yesterday...

If Syracuse is such a plague for the NCAA, why doesn't this guy help the NCAA turn their attention to Syracuse and away from UConn and lift the ban.

Honestly, I find this an extremely biased, disgusting article that made me sick. I hate Syracuse but to claim another team "saved" a corrupt institution like the NCAA is a crock. It just goes to prove that they let anyone call themselves "journalists" these days.

I remember a few articles with a similar angle in 2008-2009 after MSU beat UConn in the final four.
