This is good for the sport. Finally some common sense is being exercised. The fact that it’s against bama just makes it sweeter.

It’s preposterous that he even got to play in 5 collegiate games this season.

I don’t blame Oats for trying. Hell, this is the guy who played a guy who was an accessory to murder.

The real fricked up part is the leadership in that University who didn’t say no. Where is the President, AD, anyone with a spine to say “no, this isn’t right.”

Good that the judge ended this shite

But why are European pros eligible to play in the NCAA? What's different about him?

LINK


After multiple European prospects who'd played professional basketball had been granted eligibility, other players with ties to American pro teams began to seek similar opportunities. Multiple G League players and James Nnaji, a 2023 NBA draft pick, were deemed eligible by the NCAA this season.

But the NCAA fought Bediako's case for fear that his renewed eligibility would open the floodgates to allow other athletes with NBA experience to return to college basketball and skirt NCAA rules.

Alabama said it was disappointed in the ruling and called for consistency from NCAA decision-makers.

"We are disappointed in today's court ruling, denying the injunction for Charles Bediako," the school said in a statement. "While we understand the concern around competitive and developmental implications of former professional athletes participating in college, it is important to acknowledge reality. The NCAA has granted eligibility to over 100 current men's basketball players with prior professional experience in the G League or overseas. Granting eligibility to some former professionals, and not to others, is what creates the havoc we are currently in and why consistency from decision-makers is so desperately needed."
