So who would be ineligible in 2013 and 2014 (Cuse?)

[RayRay19]

Apparently Cuse is on the edge and they would have been banned from the tourney had the rule been placed earlier. With fab melo's academic issues that definitely can not be good for them. Also its funny how they have some time to adjust their scores and uconn doesn't at all. Cuse might be fighting the same war as us in a year. Except their most recent scores will be nowhere near Uconn's score. Btw anyone which other schools as of now will be ineligible next year and the year after?

Depends a lot on scores that haven't been earned yet, I think

 

[johnhuskies95]

It depends on how well they do this year. If Fab Melo is a 1/4, they're going to be in trouble.

Syracuse better hope that they use the more recent scores, because their 2009 score was 865, and they need to get that off the books.

There is about a 1% chance that any other major program gets hit with a postseason ban over the APR, ever. This has NOTHING to do with the APR and everything to do with us being UConn.

I can guarantee UK is holding expensive seminars right now on how to sleaze through the NCAA mud. No other school will be stupid enough to get caught in this trap. Only another retroactive punishment will work.

Melo will be a 2/4.

As I wrote in another thread, you get aPR points after each term. This means you get 2 points just for showing up. You can't NOT get 2 points. If the NCAA gave points only at the end of every year, Melo's score would be 0/2. This is another way in which academics are deemphasized by the aPR rule.

He could actually be a 1/4. The speculation is that he was ineligible in the spring based on fall grades/test that he was retaking. So he would only get 1 point for being returning for the spring semester if he was behind in the fall and then 0/2 in the spring.

Of course, considering GPA doesn't really matter if he had enough credits he could be fine and actually be a 2/4 or 3/3, which would be disgusting.

I fully expect the NCAA to wait until the day after the 2013 tournament second round is completed and then announce that they believe that a tournament ban (which would threaten a number of schools for 2014) for poor APR performance is an excessive punishment and will be discontinued.

If you're ineligible in the Fall, you should be ineligible PERIOD. He shouldn't have been playing at all. But, I'm having a harder time maintaining interest in all this

I agree. However, if he had an incomplete or something in the fall and had to take a test or something then it's somewhat understandable. For example, ineligible for the games before he took the test, eligible while it's being graded then ineligible when he fails. I'm not saying that's what happened, but it's not unheard of.

Either way eligibility is a bit of a sham if going by APR.

What takes so long though? Grades go in Dec. 15. If he asked for an incomplete, then let's say he tried to complete the work ASAP. The professor could grade that instantly, right prior to the start of the spring semester.
