What's the scoop on Kibi?
I understand ineligible. I also understand ineligible means you're out for that semester. What I didn't understand about the article in the paper, was Kibi having to sit out games until there is a" clear ruling on his eligibility".

I am familiar with high school requirements for eligibility, but I am not with college eligibility. Can someone inform me on what college players have to pass to be eligilbe by todays rules? I'm sure they've changed several times since I graduated.

Maybe it's not current, but something that turned up that should have been caught before he enrolled here. I don't know that. I'm just speculating. But if it turns out he was never eligible, would we have to forfeit those games we won? Interesting.

I didn't think you could lose your eligibility after just one semester in college. Seems like you first get put on probation if you don't make your grades. Sounds like some more NCAA crap since Kibi is from a "foreign" country- all the way from Canada.

Didn't he have to go through the NCAA clearinghouse first?

The whole thing doesn't make sense to me at this point. You would think he did. I have no rational explanation. Is it possible he could have been admitted under some sort of probationary status where he had to pass a certain course in the Fall?

It would be nice if the university was able to furnish that information without violating the young man's rights. As it is, he's sitting on the bench, and everyone is having to make up scenarios as to what actually happened.

If I am a D1 player and I don't pass enough hours with a gpa of X, I am pretty sure I don't get to play the next semester.
