Rasheem Dunn Waiver Denied (APPEAL WON)

[quote="Eric Williamson" post=360938]While it is an absolutely BS decision, and I feel for Dunn as a player and as a young man, I cannot support many of the poster's comments that we constantly are getting screwed over by the NCAA.

Look, we constantly play the transfer game, and have done so for a long time now. Either by choice or necessity, it is the approach the school/coaches have chosen. When you take that route, you are more susceptible to decisions that don't go in your favor. It's the nature of the beast. If we hadn't been so dependent on transfers, we wouldn't be in this situation.[/quote]

Up til last week or so, the ncaa only denied a handful of eligibility requests. I forget the exact number but they had approved all but about 3 until 2 weeks ago. SJU got denied for 2 at the same tome. SJU definitely does not get treatment like power conferences do. They’d never deny some of these power conference players with much more precarious circumstances.

Steere I get, even though his coaches were found guilty of cheating, which I think maybe could have been extenuating circumstances. I get it though. Dunn is a different story. His coach was fired, already sat a year etc. Ncaa won’t do anything about Sean Miller that cheating mofo, yet they make Dunn lose 2 years despite totally reasonable circumstances for transfer eligibility? Cmon
 
[quote="MainMan" post=360951]The appeal:
Dear NCAA,
Are you fucking kidding me?
Sincerely,
Mike Cragg[/quote]

Once they hear from his previous coach and are threatened with a lawsuit my money is on the cesspool known as the NCAA will reverse its decision.
 
I cannot believe the NCAA did this knowing they've dealt the kid such a lousy deal: 1 year to play in his college career? I'd be up in arms even if this had happened to Kansas. Okay, with shorter arms--but still, lol.
The other salient point is that other CSU players jumped ship before Coach Felton was fired. Rasheem did the day after his coach was terminated in July.
And just fyi, Jaalam Hill, one of the team's leading scorer, returned to CSU in August after entering the portal.
Rasheem committed to St. John's in August--wonder if that's a revenge factor for this jerk AD?

No reponse yet for multiple requests for comment from Cleveland State or its AD, or the coach who got fired, which led to this.
 
I believe Scott Garrett's email is: CSUDirectorOfAthletics@csu.edu
I emailed him and was very civil but to the point, asking how his action meshed with CSU's mission statement and how'd he'd like it if this had happened to one of his kids.
 
Surprising but in reality not. You have to deal with scum this can happen. NCAA = $$$ only.
 
I'd love to have him here, but if the NCAA insists on stealing a year of his eligibility, I am 100 percent supportive of him transferring to an NAIA school to escape the scumbags intent on F'ing with both his life and possible earning potential.

I wonder how likely it is that an appeal succeeds since this is such an obvious misguided decision. Trying to be civil.
I hope the Staff and AD apprise Rasheem of his options and what the time line for an appeal might be.
Otherwise, I agree LJSA.
 
DePaul plays them on Dec. 18. I would like to see the conference stick together on this and see the Blue Demons never schedule them again.
 
Just got home from work and seen this.

Absolutely the most shameful thing I've seen the NCAA do, and they've done a lot of shameful stuff with completely ignoring and doing nothing to known cheaters. The kid has already sat out an entire year, his coach was fired, most of his teammates transferred, it's a completely different situation than he signed up for, and he gets punished for it?

If what they are saying about the Cleveland State athletic director is true, it's beyond embarrassing for a grown man that's suppose to have the best interest of student athletes to be so petty.

Has anyone started a petition or anything yet? I'll gladly sign it and share it with everyone I know on facebook and twitter, this is just wrong in so many ways.

Try this one. Was on school directory: s.garrett1@csuohio.edu

This is ridiculous. No reason why kid shouldn’t be able to play.
