[QUOTE="Obelix, post: 1172766, member: 7292"] Of course the school can strong arm him, as they can decide to not renew the scholarship to an existing player at the end of the season. But in that case, it would not be to Nichols best interest to come to UI to begin with. Under that scenario, one can question why would Nichols still want to enroll at Illinois and not transfer somewhere else: the schools is forcing him to stay away from basketball, with no scholarship, no practice, and no ability to attend classes. If UI wanted Nichols to play next Spring, I am pretty sure that has been discussed already and he had agreed to before deciding to transfer. In the case of Thorne (and probably Abrams) the decision would require a season-ending injury, which I would imagine necessitates the season to actually end before making a ruling. But in either case, I'd agree that is wishful thinking even if they already knew :) [/QUOTE]
