Something about the NCAA rule requiring a SA to sit out a year doesn't
pass the eyeball test. If a scholarship is not renewed, and there are no
disciplinary causes formally given or established, a player should be able
to transfer and play immediately. It is simply unfair to the SA not to
allow it. And, I suspect, if an enterprising SA wanted to challenge
that rule in court with a good lawyer (a contradiction in terms?:-):-), he
or she might win. This is similar to large companies requiring rank and
file salaried workers to sign one year non-compete agreements. It is an
unfair restraint of trade and the ability to earn a livelihood.
Btw, I am not troubled by Cugnet buying some rum when he was supposed to
be sick. How many of us have not tried to put ourselves to sleep with a
few drinks when battling a cold or flu? I know it doesn't work, but that
never stopped us from trying at least at one point in our lives. That
little tale is worth absolutely nothing to this discussion, and until we
hear something official from CC, I think we would be better off not
engaging in rumors. This is a kid in college with his whole future in
front of him. Let's not ruin it with innuendo.
