Game #11 - Indiana State Saturday Dec 17, 7pm (CT) at the ARC

[VU2624]

The bigger question to me is how is the NCAA involved in such a scenario?  I'm less concerned about what we (VU) will do than what is handed down from the NCAA? In my mind this is a nothing burger for the program if it's a couple bad decisions by these two players.  It's NCAA level sanctions (not sure they are warranted) that are my real concern.

The grade isn't given until the end of the semester. So there shouldn't be any eligibility issues for this semester assuming this would put either player in a GPA or number credit ineligible situation.

Most players stay in the summer take classes and have access to the athletic facilities.

If you're referring to the basketball team I'd think you're right but I'm trying to figure out how your comment to my comment are connected.

I'm also pretty sure that there is an additional charge to stay in the dorms which far exceed the cost of airfare to get home assuming that's an issue for those living in the US.

An additional charge would be new to me and somewhat surprising. It didn't catch my eye on the Res Life page this week, but I wasn't looking for it, and I don't know if I ever actually used break housing.

It doesn't sound unreasonable, I just don't remember ever hearing about it.

Reporters are stating Max is playing tonight but Jubril is still out. Still no comment from the athletics department.

My guess is an investigation is going on and they're being careful to not play with anyone who might later be ruled ineligible to risk vacating wins.  My fear is that this was not something that happened just this semester/summer, but carried on last year as well.
I believe the managers on the team are usually students so hopefully a student to student situation is looked at as less serious than anything condoned from higher up.

If the speculation is true, it's odd that Max would be allowed to play but Jubril is not. Perhaps Max knew about it but didn't say anything? Or maybe he had nothing to do with it at all

MJ dressed and warming up. No JA in sight.

6:35p. Like a morgue with loud music playing.

eligibility is based on % credits towards your degree.  Therefore, one can receive a couple "F's" or no credit for the courses but still be eligible based on credits earned towards a degree.

Anyone else lose sound?

That's part of it. There is also minimum credit hours required.

Jubril's on the bench, in street clothes. Max has already seen minutes. And here comes Nick with a third of the first half left.

Alec with half our points, unusual in first half?, and sometimes through triple teams.

Been gone for most of the game for me. WVUR's stream is working on their website, but it's a possession or two ahead of the video feed.

[WhatTheWORLD]

Humiliating effort so far. What is going on?

Twitter says that those who can do something about it are aware of the issue and working for a fix. Now that we're approaching halftime.

[oklahomamick]

What a crap call to end the half.

Point off emphasis - he kicked our player

I'm getting the swoop at replays!!  The audio is about 5 minutes ahead so can't listen to Todd.  BS.

Troll? Or...? Because in the game I'm watching, Peters is going off and we're up 8 at half. Not perfect, but hardly humiliating.

[vu72]

Alex has had to have had one of the best halves in the country.  23-10!!  Awesome!!

[valporun]

Todd has said the issue with the audio is in the ESPN3 system, and they've apparently taken it completely apart to find out what the problem is, and are working on it.

I'm wrong. The extra cost is only for non school related i.e. athletic teams in season, 500 miles away, etc. You can get approval if you want to stay on campus maybe for job reasons but it costs $25 per day.

Should have been a foul on the ISU player. Does college not have the kickout rule?

[vu72]

Really a fine half from both sides.  Both teams with about 12 free throws.  Only five turnovers per team.  The difference at this point is Alec and free throws.

Todd just said a Valpo first half record for points.
