Precedent? What about the hundreds of professional basketball players from Europe who have been players here? CKM's last 2 signees are from Spain & Russia.

There are 18 other schools who have been exploring this process, several from the SEC.
How does the NCAA get around the fact that it has allowed professional basketball players in Europe to play here while disallowing American professional athletes from playing here? Reference Coach Kim Mulkey's last 2 signings, a pro player from Spain & another from Russia.
"Talking head........." He's built a big reputation in taking on the NCAA's, going on years. He's far from just a shill. He added that the NCAA has been allowing professional basketball players from Europe to play in NCAA conferences for years. He asks:" why does the NCAA allow European professional players to play in NCAA conferences here but disallows American professional players to play in the same conferences?" That's a hard question for the NCAA to answer.
Not a melt but do remind us what your head coach did, exactly, when he poached that Clemson player who was already enrolled in classes at Clemson enticing him to decommitting from Clemson & committing to your Black Bears.
Remind us again what your head coach did re the poaching of the Clemson player who was already enrolled in & taking classes.
Coach Mulkey said that she & Koval "spoke at length" before anything reached the point of this Russian girl being offered.
Lane just said on the Pat Macfee show that there are 100 athletes, multiple sports, males & females. who are going to go through this legal process. Tell us again what NCAA rules he has broken.
"Too much sense"? Their newly built stadium seats a big, fat 33,00 fans. Which they could not sell out for their league's championship. Who wants to play them in a home & home series? As well, 85% of their alums are not from La., mostly from the North East.
He couldn't "wait". The national signing date for portal transfers was the next week. He signed 3 5 stars that first week.
"Single-handedly" ? He just said on the Pat Macfee show that there 100 other players that are going to go through this same process.
Kiffen on the Pat Macfee show just said that there are over 100 other players, in .multiple sports, females & males, who are using this same legal process to come back to colleges' athletic programs. He added that he has broken no rules.
A friend went through the Navy the duration of the Vietnam war & still has those same issues, with French fries. He said that those fries, cooked the same throughout the Navy, were hard to even digest. To this date he has never eaten even one.
Such pure ignorance re the history of the hate between these 2 countries. You are isolating these 2 young girls from that history that goes back into the 20's - 30's. As noted, Stalin starved millions to death pre war. Ukrainians made up the majority of SS guards at Auschwitz, mentally & physically abusing thousands Russian POWS. As Russian troops moved through the Ukraine entire villages were burned to the ground, its citizens murdered en masse by the thousands. Post war Russian oppression continued through decades by occupation abuses etc etc etc. Do you really believe this level of mutual hate simply disappeared over time' passed down by generation after generation. And as an aside, do you remember how Japanese Americans were treated after Pearl Harbor?
"Run professionally & ethically".....as when he contacted a Clemson player who was already enrolled in school & was attending class?
The Black Bears need to stay far far away from this "issue". Their starting QB is back for his 7th season thanks to a Black Bears' friendly judge.
How "good" is it for college football when O.Miss' starting QB is in his 7th year? Thanks to a Miss. Judge's ruling?
The guy from France is even bigger, a semi body builder.
Give us one incident where this happened. If it ever did, CNN et al would be making this "breaking news". I HAVE heard of several incidents, nation wide, where a LEO approached a car on a routine traffic stop & ended being shot / killed when the driver pulled out a gun. It's because of shite like this that La. State Troopers now have to wear protective ( hot as hell ) vest on traffic stops. But do give us one example of fear happening real life.
