Sorry if Germans, but I did search the MSB for this guys name and nothing came up. Apparently you cannot play organized sports in the military just for fun. This guy played in what sounds like intramural football in the service, and now that he's trying to play football in college now, the NCAA is saying since there were officials, and uniforms etc, that it was an organized team sport. Originally said he'd have to sit out a year, and lose 2 yrs of eligibility.

The NCAA ruled that Rhodes' play in games at the Marine base counted as organized competition because there were game officials, team uniforms and a score was kept.



hopefully no one bought him a pizza after the game. improper benefits!!!

That's pretty fricking dumb. But hey, it's ok for guys to play 4 years of professional baseball then go back to college for football.

Heard this yesterday on the radio. It's as bad as anything the NCAA has done off the top of my head.

Not shocking that the NCAA has screwed up yet again.
Agree with the OP. Faulktards.

The NCAA has zero credibility. I wish all of the major conferences would just withdraw from the NCAA and form their own separate governing body.
