This excuse is just plain laughable….
He played four seasons (2022-23, 23-24, 24-25, and 25-26) after redshirting 2021-22. He argued that he would not have redshirted if he had been under the current rules, so he should be entitled to a 5th yearBut this is still year 6 for him... including a redshirt year... what am I missing?
The argument as @the juiceman cometh has touched on is that TKR has had 5 seasons. One redshirt year + 4 playing years. But had the rules been the way they are now, he would not have redshirted. So he lost a year of eligibility due to the old rules.But this is still year 6 for him... including a redshirt year... what am I missing?
This excuse is just plain laughable….
The B12 Commissioner is auditioning for a career in politics. Double talk. Gaslighting. He’s ready to run.This excuse is just plain laughable….
Was he automatically put into the predraft workouts he did for teams (at least 8 of them)? And do sports journalists just not do follow up questions?This excuse is just plain laughable….

Just to be clear, that is in fact the argument to my understanding. But I do think that argument is dumb.The argument as @the juiceman cometh has touched on is that TKR has had 5 seasons.

What’s interesting is:Just to be clear, that is in fact the argument to my understanding. But I do think that argument is dumb.
And, if he wouldn’t have redshirted, he would have lost his eligibility last year and already be playing in Europe or in the G league. Either way he shouldn’t be allowed to play.The argument as @the juiceman cometh has touched on is that TKR has had 5 seasons. One redshirt year + 4 playing years.

Easy to read it that way, I had to reread it a couple of timesOh my gosh, I'm the dummy, apologies to ESPN. When I read the ending I thought it was saying Jeremy Fears lead Michigan St to a title. Anyhow, carry on.

Heaven knows what the rules or financial structures or eligibility will be in any future years, it is time to make hay while the sun is shining.![]()
