Tom House & Charles Johnston
What is wrong with the NCAA - horrible organization.
Why aren’t the college presidents and AD’s publicly calling out the NCAA? It is past time for this nonsense to stop.

You would think that NCAA would see the writing on the wall.... They have not achieved what they wanted yet, this thing is still ongoing all over the country and now its Oct. 16th, 2 weeks from hoops opening night......................
Definitely a bunch of unqualified individuals calling the shots at the NCAA office.....................

Also, NCAA is now saying that the players in Ohio case are still not eligible after the Ohio Supreme Court issued the new stay until it further reviews. NCAA is stating none of those players are eligible. Will be interesting to see if House plays at all vs GSU.

Charlie Baker will soon be looking for a new job.............................
Now the NCAA thinks it can go against the courts

BTW, Gov Mike DeWine’s son , Pat DeWine, is one of the 7 Ohio Supreme Court judges. Some are saying that the NCAAs action to sue Mike DeWine was a play to force Judge Pat DeWine to recuse himself from the case.
The NCAA suing the Governor of Ohio is the equivalent of a child throwing a temper tantrum.
Make no mistake, the NCAA is as corrupt as they come and it does not give a 'FREAK' about its student athletes.....................
AI overview as of 10/16
It is highly unlikely that the NCAA will voluntarily abandon its legal battle anytime soon, as the organization views this dispute not just as a fight over individual players, but as a last-stand defense of its institutional authority.
Legal experts and sports analysts suggest the NCAA will persist for three core reasons:
• Protecting the "Death of the Rulebook": NCAA leadership, led by Charlie Baker, believes that if Ohio successfully uses an executive order to bypass national eligibility rules, it will create a domino effect. Other governors or state legislatures could pass custom rules to protect their own in-state athletes.
• The Upcoming House v. NCAA Settlement: The NCAA is currently preparing to transition into a new revenue-sharing model under the massive House v. NCAA settlement. The organization wants to maintain as much regulatory control as possible heading into this new era, rather than surrendering its rule-making power to state politicians.
• A Strategy of Delays and Deterrence: Even if the NCAA loses in lower courts, its immediate strategy is to create enough legal risk to deter schools from playing disputed athletes. By threatening future forfeits and penalties, the NCAA places the burden of risk on the universities themselves, effectively achieving its goal of keeping those players off the court while the litigation drags out.

So basically this whole thing actually has nothing to do with the class of 2022 players as far as the NCAA is concerned, they are only thinking about long term Power & Money..............
Tom House not listed on the roster anymore

Uh-oh.
"Women, Wind, and Fortune change quickly."
I imagine FU is being super conservative here with the NCAA saying the players are still ineligible after Ohio Supreme Court stay. Hopefully the Ohio Supreme Court will make a final decision within days.
