Ben Simmons Is Ineligible For John Wooden Award

This one and done shite is a joke.

Who gives a poop.

Ben Simmons is still eligible for SEC Tournament MVP, bitches.

If you want to win in this life, you have to take care of your business...all of it...

Jonny Jones is a joke of a coach, can't blame this on the kid.

"can't blame this on the kid." Wut?

Embarrassing Ben.

How hard is it, as an athlete, to maintain grades and remain eligible? This is pathetic.

You can put this on the coach,the coach knows what his player is doing.he should've sat for five or six games instead of four minutes in the first quarter. No matter if you're the number one pick in the draft or not you're still a student

$100m shoe deal. Don't care.

I'm fine with one and done as it's the current rule, it will change. What a sad reflection on Ben, on LSU, and for other kids busting it to get their degree via scholarship. Jones too has to take accountability.

Can't make a 2.0 with free tutoring? That's sad....

Guy it's ok, Obama said he didn't have to worry about it on national tv, who the hell goes to class when the POTUS gives you a shout out ?

Kentucky has won nattys with one and done kids. Bottom line is this coaching staff has failed. I don't like the rule either, but let's not pretend the rule is the reason this year has been such a failure, and Simmons isn't national player of the year.

Scores a zero on desire and effort. What a surprise.

I don't think he would've won it anyways. Buddy Hield has it locked up right now.

I love the downvotes and snide comments. Ben does deserve some blame, but this falls squarely on the coaching staff. How can any of you argue in favor of Coach JJ when he has squandered so much talent? Maybe it is a symptom of what is wrong with college basketball in general, but it speaks volumes to me that other programs seem to keep their one and dones clean for a year and this clown can't even do that. Prove me wrong.

Prove you wrong? Jones sucks as a coach. Simmons is lazy as crap, must have stopped going to class after Christmas. It really does not matter to him, he doesn't need college to play in the NBA and sign shoe deals. He will need it one day though. Life is tough enough. it's much tougher when you are stupid. Wasting a free opportunity to learn is stupid, period.
