I have read the newspaper articles on why Kone is having troubles with the NCAA, but it still seems a little unclear to me. Would anyone care to further break it down for me? Any way I look at , it seems kind of rinky dink. Am I wrong? Thanks!!

Basically, the NCAA is questioning who paid for his flight from Florida to Valparaiso for registration as a student. He was at a basketball camp in Florida as I understand it before flying here to register. It's basically that simple. Why this wasn't checked and clarified when his eligibility was investigated this fall is beyond me and the school. I am assured there is no problem with anything Mo did or VU did, but with the NCAA you always are leary.....

They really expected they'd know today....the committee that was supposed to decide this was supposed to meet this morning as I understand it....we leave for Oakland tomorrow....I hope they have it decided before we head north....

Any chance Kone will travel even if no decision is handed down?  to the NCAA |

This is beginning to look more and more like something that will stretch out for a long time. What a shame.

Unfortunately this is the way the NCAA works.
And frankly, I think the NCAA likes to make things like this excrutiating for schools that have a squeaky clean rep, like VU.
It's unfortunate.
When I walk into the O-Rena tomorrow night I'm praying I see Mo sitting on the bench ... IN UNIFORM.
