His first 7 years werent enough? Who is he levance fields? I sympothize with the kid but at some point u gotta move on...
 
Meanwhile, Jess Settles is about to start his 23rd senior season at Iowa.

Good luck to Abromaitis - a great kid who really had a surprising Ryan-Gomes-okay-I-duck*ed-up type of college career. (RIP, Dave Soloman.)

What does it matter? He has only played 3 seasons of basketball + 2 games. Who cares how many years it takes him as long as he's still attending classes, which given his 3 Big East Scholar Athlete of the Year trophies, he is, and doing exceptionally well in.
 
When I saw the post I thought we were trying to get another year out of Jim Abromaitis.
 
He should have gotten the extra year, period. More reason to hate to the NCAA and all they don't stand for
 
I don't see why they should deny him the year. He was clearly injured the year before. I'm not sure what any team gains by a player tearing their ACL.
 
I don't generally wish anything good for Notre Dame, but this kid has been a credit to everything college athletics is suppose to stand for. Maybe he got some of the "shrapnal" meant for UConn by way of his Connecticut roots. The NCAA might have gotten confuse and thought it was taking yet another scholarship away from UConn.
 
Slightly OT, does Tyler's brother still have eligibility? Maybe he can transfer like Evans.
 
Agree with touchdown... NCAA needs more kids like him. Great career, especially given what he dealt with
 
He only played two games? What a joke the NCAA is. If he doesn't deserve a medical redshirt I don't know who the hell does. I've heard of football players getting one that have played more than two games and that is a much larger portion that for a basketball schedule.
 
What? Jim Abromaitis was denied . Damm them neckties at The NC double A. We need Jim for at least one year.
 
I say the kid takes the NCAA to court, transfers to UConn and plays on our team while he waits for a ruling. If he loses, he played as an ineligible player but our season doesn't count anyways so what does it matter? We can't give back money for playing in a tournament we didn't play in and who gives a crap if the entire farce of a season is vacated! If he wins, he gets some coin from the NCAA.
 
aren't the rules something like you have 5 years to use your 4 years of basketball eligibility? obviously i don't like much about the NCAA, but if the rule is 4 in 5, then you can't do 4 in 6 unless they change the rules...

They have, at times, allowed for 4 in 6. I think a ND player got that once.

oh well that makes no sense. why allow it for one, then, and not others? obviously that's not a question for you, but one only the NCAA can answer...

Well sure, if you only take one class a semester....
 
What a great lesson kids, punish the athlete that actually does well in school.

Well, it goes hand in hand with the APR punishment, which leads to players leaving school early.
