This is becoming a joke.

Why? Was there ever an official reason given or was it just board speculation?

I guess he can't pass bowling class.

that's not true

Maymon, a 6-foot-7, 258-pound power forward, said he passed all five classes he took and had documentation from his professors that none of his grades would be changed.

 

[TennTradition]

So, we're just waiting for certification of the grades and the closing of the "change" period?

 

[vol4eva]

It's the provosts decision.

1. Joke wasn't funny to begin with.

2. It's completely wrong.

3. Knowing that it's wrong makes it even worse.

Administration going alittle overboard here.

looks like they could get a waiver in past years but this is by the book. Seems odd

This is simply bureaucratic bullcrap. Nothing else.

They may be doing everything by the book and taking no chances, because they're being investigated. And, the team has been winning without him.

Since when is getting a waiver some sort of violation?

Maymon being eligible or not and the coaching staff doing what they can to get him on the court has nothing to do with anything else.

 

[Velo Vol]

The window for grades to be changed was at noon today.

And yet his (presumably passing) grade doesn't count?

That's dumb.

 

[Ericvol2096]

This is weird to me.

 

[Volfan4ever522]

This whole thing is a JOKE! He passed all his classes, professors back that up with documented grades. At first it was well there is a window that the grades can be changed, all his professors said no grades would be changed. Well that window ended today at noon. Eligible you ask?? NO, now they say oh well the grades aren't final until Wednesday. Bullcrap!!! What will the excuse be after tomorrow? Sounds to me like somebody has it for Pearl or Maymond himself but either way this needs to stop and let the guy play, he passed his classes :rtfm: and did what he had to do, this is rediculous.

 

[UTodd01]

Jordan McRae should get some more minutes tonight as we will go smaller.

Maybe Im in the minority but why do you want him back so bad? I know hes a solid player but youre 7-0 and have berated two top-10 teams. Throwing him into the mix right now would alter chemistry. If it aint broke dont fix it? In the meantime, let the school dot their 'i's and cross their t's. No need to get in a rush when its apparent you dont really need hime right now.

He'll come back soon and we'll still play well
