So is there a dealine before tipoff to declare eligibility or something? What's keeping the university from declaring him eligible say, in the next couple of hours? Or tomorrow morning, even?

He should fly up there tonight and wait courtside til he receives official word, lol. This is ridiculous, though. Why wait til the day before one of our biggest games of the season to make this decision??

At this point, I doubt he will be playing. I'm sure they foresaw this problem and just hoped they could get around it. The university is actually doing the right thing. If I'm not mistaking, his grades have to be finalized in order for his eligibility to be restored. Though his grades are now apparently posted, they are not officially final yet. All grades for all students are finalized when the window for professors to post grades in closed, which has NOT HAPPENED YET. I don't know exactly when that will be, but I'm 99% sure it's not tomorrow night as I only have 1 of 7 grades posted right now. So, in short, his grades are posted, not finalized. I think they become finalized shortly before Christmas.

So, going with this rationale, wouldnt we have known sooner he wouldnt be playing? Why is this a surprise if we are waiting on some arbitrary window to close on an unknown date? :no:

The best analogy I could give is that a student who is participating in commencement ceremonies tomorrow is not necessarily considered a graduate yet. Grades have to be submitted today by 12pm approx. and the registrar office has to clear them. So there is a discrepency in the timeframe from which a grade is posted online by the teacher, the registrars office and when the grades are condsidered "official". Next week is usually when the grades will be become offficial. The gap in this time allows for any mistakes in grading to be corrected. Maymon's situation is unusual but the way the system works is not.

IIRC, it was Pearl who stated that he could be eligible not the University. Like I said in my previous post, this system has been in place but it took an unusual circumstance of a high profile athlete to bring this to the public's attention. I think the possibility of Maymon playing became an absolute in many fan's minds.

I'm sure Pearl left someone behind to lobby, but I would consider it doubtful. This is not the best time to be problem solving at the regitrar's office.

So, couldn't we move his name to #1 on the Registrar's list. Then they could be finalized shortly before 5pm today. Jus sayin. I know this isn't a HS eligibility case, and there is a process, but if he's got what he needs, move that shat to the front of the pile ppl. Get the boy cleared. Some office worker needs to skip lunch today and get the shat done. =)

Yeah, I forgot to mention that. I don't think they should be surprised at all, if that's what went down.

I just don't think that grades are due today though.

Pearl should just tell the registrar that he'll invite him over for a barbeque at his house if he'll put the grade up. :)
