ORUalum Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 different rules for Kansas? KU's partial qualifiers will get to practice second semester. the circumstances may not be the same, but why does it always feel like there are different rules for the big schools. KU freshmen Ben McLemore, Jamari Traylor ineligible for 2011-12 season Kansas University basketball freshmen Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor are ineligible for participation during the upcoming 2011-12 season, coach Bill Self announced Friday. As partial qualifiers, McLemore, a 6-foot-5 guard from St. Louis, and Traylor, a 6-8 forward from Chicago, will be able to practice second semester and be eligible to play in games at KU next season. Until second semester, they will be unable to take part in any team activities, thus were not allowed to participate in Friday night’s Late Night in the Phog activities. “The NCAA has legitimate reasons why the ruling is what it is. We don’t agree with the ruling, but we are not saying we are right and they are wrong. We agree to disagree,” Self said. “They’ve been good and responsive and up front in telling us the situation for the most part. “We’re not happy with it at all. I’m not. I don’t think it’s right. When we recruited these kids, we thought they were full qualifiers without question. ... These are really good young men. We feel they’ve proven themselves to be full qualified status. They (NCAA officials) see different. So we fought. We fought hard. We didn’t win.” FULL ARTICLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
