Renouf Twins (Nathan and Jonah) Ruled Ineligible

Word on the street is that Jonah and Nathan Renouf have been ruled ineligible. Something to do with the transfer rule which was changed at the end of last season. I'll wait for someone to explain it to me before commenting here.

This is sure a waste. They will be eligible next year as freshman. That's some minor silver lining for them I guess.

It rapidly ingests large volumes of air for them to learn about this today instead of ... um ... oh ... let's say ... MONTHS AGO.

In the old days, in an effort to balance the emotional toll this kind of news puts on us fans I would have posted a picture of a hot chick in hockey gear instead of writing this sentence. It's not the old days.

So sad for them. The NCAA just sucks sometimes.

You can't say "sucks" on this blog. Oh wait a minute ... you can. And yes ... yes it does.

its a very dumb rule, and the university shouldve said something in there Press release that they couldn't play.

Any word on the radio side of things this year DD? or is the university tight lipped about it as usual?

The university isn't commenting yet on the Renouf situation. They will put out a press release when the situation is permanently settled. It'll take some time.

As to the radio, I'm sorry I didn't follow up Anon ... my bad. There is nothing in place for actual over the air radio ... there will be the usual internet stream radio broadcast but yeah ... that doesn't come in on my transistor radio or car or ... well you get the picture. Something could change in that regard but I wouldn't hold out any hope.

Do we know if the decision on the twins has been appealed yet?

Donald Dunlop said...

That's why it isn't permanently settled. They are drafting/sending the appeal ...

So I'm assuming the appeal was denied?
