The Bediako thing never should have happened, and I'm glad it's over as it was bad for college basketball in the long run. It should also be noted that Auburn's Filip Jovic played pro in Serbia & elsewhere in Europe

He's 100% an alter but there's no reason to think it's an Auburn fan.

I think there is also some argument re: what club players in European pro leagues are being paid for but I haven't taken the time to understand that point.


European pro players can be denied eligibility if they've earned too much money playing pro in europe. Has happened before.

Someone like Jovic that started out young by necessity and far from refinement probably made less than 30,000 USD a year. Bediako made 530,000 in G-League.

Bama focusing on Europros like Jovic was just one of their many bad arguments.

Yep. There is a clause in the bylaws specifically about how much players that play professionally without ever going to college can earn to maintain eligiblity specifically because of how European sports are structured, since they don't have high school/AAU type of setup.

It is a stupid argument for them to have tried to make because even if they decided that rule was not fair, there is a completely separate rule that addressed Bediako's situation that no matter what they try and argue, would still have him be inelgibile that doesn't apply to any other case they try and bring up.

Auburn had a guy playing that played professionally in Europe We play Ole Miss tonight. They have a guy who played in France's professional league. I really just don't see any difference


You are stupid, that’s the big difference here. Once you fix this, the rest will follow suit for you.

I'm all for this. But, since everyone in CBB is a paid employee, what's the difference between a 20 year old man working for the pros and then returning to work for a college and a 40 year old coach who does the same?

NON1F, do me a favor and use your unique investigative skills to do some research into 25-year-old Rashaun Agee, whom the NCAA deemed ineligible to play this season.

My hairdresser told me that a Texas judge granted him a preliminary injunction against the NCAA, and that he's been playing for Texas A&M under a TRO all season, averaging 14 points and 9 rebounds per game.

See if you can dig anything up about his head coach complaining about the eligibility situations involving other teams, and other players his team has had to play against.

tyia


I am VERY BUSY but I used my LOCAL LLM I built from SCRATCH to get you an ANSWER

LISTEN HERE, BUDDY, because this whole situation makes my blood boil hotter than a June day in Tuscaloosa! You want the "investigative" dirt? I’ll give you the dirt, but you aren’t gonna like how greasy these Aggies are playing.

The Rashaun Agee "Heist"

Your hairdresser is spot on, and it’s a total joke! Rashaun Agee, that 25-year-old forward who’s been in college since the dawn of time (he’s played at five different schools!), was absolutely deemed ineligible by the NCAA. But of course, Texas A&M went crying to a local judge.
On October 13, 2025, Judge George Jerrell Wise in Brazos County—Aggieland Central—granted him a preliminary injunction. He’s been out there playing all season under that court order while his lawsuit drags on. And yeah, the stats don't lie: he’s putting up 14.0 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. He even dropped 21 points on our Tide on February 4th! It’s easy to look like an All-American when you’re basically a grown man playing against kids.

The Hypocrisy of Bucky McMillan

Now, here is what really gets me going. Their new head coach, Bucky McMillan, had the audacity—the absolute nerve—to go on a rant recently about eligibility.
* The Charles Bediako Situation: We tried to get our guy Charles Bediako back on the court, but the NCAA shut it down and a judge actually followed the rules and denied our injunction.
* The Double Standard: Bucky McMillan went off complaining about the "eligibility situations" involving other teams, basically acting like Texas A&M are the only ones playing fair.
* The Complaint: He’s been "under fire" because he had the gall to criticize Nate Oats and our Tide for pursuing Bediako’s eligibility, calling it "selfish," while he’s literally starting a guy the NCAA said was ineligible!
He’s also been whining about other teams playing guys under similar injunctions—like Tyon Grant-Foster over at Gonzaga. It’s "rules for thee, but not for me" in College Station!

"A&M Way" vs. The Right Way

| Player | Status | How They're Playing |
|---|---|---|
| Rashaun Agee (A&M) | Ineligible (NCAA) | Playing via Texas Court Injunction |
| Charles Bediako (Bama) | Ineligible (NCAA) | Sidelined (Injunction Denied) |
| Tyon Grant-Foster (Gonzaga) | Ineligible (NCAA) | Playing via Washington Court Injunction |

It’s a garbage system, man! While Nate Oats is out here trying to build a program the right way, Bucky is hiding behind a Brazos County gavel and then pointing fingers at everyone else. They won that game on the 4th, but everyone knows that win has a giant asterisk next to it as far as I'm concerned!
Roll Tide forever, and honestly, someone needs to tell the NCAA to grow a backbone and stop letting these local judges coach the SEC!

Would you like me to look up the latest Bracketology to see how this "injunction-fueled" A&M team is projected compared to our Tide?

I think most of us really don't want Bediako to play because we don't want to do this to college basketball.

We also don't want the euro pros, or the seventh-year TRO guy at Texas A&M, or the guys who got drafted in the NBA but didn't sign the paper, or whatever technicality caused Bediako to be ruled ineligible.

Y'all continuing to fall all over yourself saying "but he's the only one who signed this" like you're in a court of law sound retarded in real life when all of this is almost precisely the same thing in essence, where the rest of us actually live.

These are all guys who shouldn't be playing college basketball, and you know it. You're just fighting for it because you happen to have one of these guys on your team, as does a huge chunk of the league.

I mean, could have very easily not played him while the court battle happened. It sounds more like yall really wanted him to play.

We also don't want the euro pros


Which ones? Surely you’re smart enough to understand not all are created equal right? Or is it your position that no European basketball player should be allowed to play collegiate basketball?
