Ahuna not eligible??

[taylorvol]

Tenn flew MA to Knoxville for his official visit before the portal transfer was official or something like that, Level 3 (lowest level) violation self reported back in June 2022.

No, they flew Ahuna in on an official visit before receiving his transcripts. Minor level 3 violation that was reported numerous months ago. It’s very old news.

Hope it's worked out soon.

So no idea when he might be cleared to play? NCAA needs to get off their butts and make it happen rather than costing this young man games.

Tennessee baseball commits NCAA violation on transfer Maui Ahuna

From the article:

UT staff members self-reported the violation. As a penalty, they underwent a review of rules education. Also, exceptions will no longer be made to any sport to book flights without satisfying all conditions of NCAA rules in approving official visits.

So why the hell is Ahuna being forced to sit?

It’s got to be more than this.

It’s got to be more than this.

OT posted an interview from earlier today. They asked him about Ahuna and the gist is he ain’t saying nothing, or maybe he can’t say anything. That’s gonna have to be good enough…for now.

While a state flagship university and the NCAA squabble over the minutiae of some meaningless infraction, a young man with a bright (and potentially very lucrative) future languishes in baseball limbo.

The NCAA: for the student athlete.

Not Caring About Athletes

The NCAA needs to be disbanded and made defunct. It is useless and a dinosaur now.

TV just needs to play him. Say screw everybody. What are they gonna do if he just plays him?

If they play an ineligible player and win, those wins won’t count. That would hurt everyone involved.

Oh boy……

Trey Wallace just put a story out on Outkick where Kansas is saying they have complied with every request. At the end, he said there is more to the story but left it at that.

I mean I get that part, and was spouting out the mouth. At the same time though so many players transferred and got deemed eligible. All of this should have been fixed by now. The kid deserves better.

There definitely is more to it and we just have to let it play out.

Ridiculous. For how long? This is so unfair to Maui.

Yep. Two bureaucracies bickering over antiquated bylaws, all at the expense of someone who (more than likely) hasn’t done anything blameworthy.

 

[WallyBalls]

Can someone just say what this supposed mystery issue is?

Or at least if it lies with UT, KU, or the NCAA?

None of it makes any sense in light of what's changed in the last 18-24 months.

All we know for sure is that Coach ain’t talking until it’s resolved. Everyone hates what happened last weekend, everyone wants to see him play, the kid cried when he found out, no one’s cool with that. We can’t do anything about it people can complain all they want, if it makes em feel better…

Exactly. I cannot imagine a scenario where it takes 8-9 months for something impacting eligibility to be resolved. Just ridiculous.

I just hate for the kid. He would definitely help the team but also help his future in the pros. Hopefully it gets resolved soon.

Is it safe to say he will miss all the non conference series?

I haven’t heard that. Other than what CTV said Monday, which was nothing really.
