Bam is good to go!

The latest word on Bam is that the NCAA FINALLY ruled on Bam Olaseni’s eligibility!  It wasn’t the greatest ruling, but it was a ruling nevertheless.

Bam has been ruled eligible immediately, but has 2-yrs to play 1.

Seeing as how the season is already nearly half over, it’s most likely that he’ll redshirt this year.  Luckily, he still gets to play in 4 games while still preserving his redshirt year.  This should give him enough time to acclimate by the end of the season.

Why is he only eligible for 1 year?  Did he play a year before he went to JC?

[Utesbyfive]

Yeah, I don’t get it.

[PhiladelphiaUte]

I don’t get it either.  It wasn’t my call.  It was the NCAA’s, and you know how they are.
