Free Enes you NCAA Sons of Bitches

His Turkish 'owner' wants to sell him and started this shit.

Anxious. Eager to know. Believing he could make a big difference.
Kentucky players are no different than their fans when it comes to the long-awaited decision on whether the NCAA will “free” Enes Kanter.
The definite and final decision on Kanter’s disputed eligibility is expected at any time.
“I think we’re all getting pretty anxious,” wing Darius Miller said on Thursday. “He’s a great player and he’d be a huge help and asset to the team.”
But, Miller added, “We’re all waiting like everybody else.”
Earlier this fall, the NCAA declared Kanter permanently ineligible because he played for a professionial team in his native Turkey. During the last of the three seasons for that team, he received $33,033 in excess of the permitted “actual and necessary” expenses, UK and the NCAA agreed.
UK’s appeal of that ruling was expected to take place this week. NCAA procedures suggest a decision would be made the same day as the appeal hearing, but could take a day or two to announce.
“Really, I don’t have a clue when we’ll find out,” Miller said. “Hopefully, we do find out today.”


I bet he never wears the Blue & White, a pity

1. Update: UK says it has new information on Kanter's

eligibility.

""We recognize that many people are outraged at the notion that a parent or anyone else could 'shop around' a student-athlete and there would possibly not be repercussions on the student-athlete's eligibility," he said in a statement on the NCAA Web site. "I'm committed to further clarifying and strengthening our recruiting and amateurism rules so they promote appropriate behavior by students, parents, coaches and third parties. We will work aggressively with our members to amend our bylaws so that this type of behavior is not a part of intercollegiate athletics,"
While that process unfolds, ESPN basketball analyst Jimmy Dykes suggested that Kentucky could argue that Kanter did not participate in any financial arrangements with professional team in Turkey.
"I would say the Cam Newton situation, from a common-sense standpoint, would add fuel to Kentucky's case," Dykes said.
Dykes also suggested that Kanter might have turned down a lucrative professional contract to play in this country."
Uk has a good team without him, a great team if he is allowed to play. Free Enes!

2. Rotsa ruck, Rorge

This is the same organization that stripped Hawai'i of the 2002 men's volleyball title -- its only title in an NCAA-sanctioned sport since 1987 -- for using a player from Greece who had not even played professionally but had played for a Greek athletic club that, like many European ACs, fields both professional and amateur teams. :grr: :banghead: :argh: :nuke:

3. I would have agreed last week but not so sure now.

His Turkish 'owner' wants this because he can sell him. Sounds medieval. We'll see.
