Selby not going to class, awaiting NCAA news

[RandytheHelpfulPineapple]

Mascott says some big news could be coming in the next 24 hours. Selby isn't going to class, which means that something is going to have to give here shortly.

Selby Rumor Mill

Selby has been pretty positive on twitter as of late, so let's hope that's a good sign.

When did classes start? How much can he miss before it's too much?

This week I think. I think it won't be a problem until the second week.

Started 2 weeks from tomorrow. On August 19th. I would say, especially taking entry level classes, and getting tutoring, he's fine, and will be even if he misses another week or two. Now I don't know when the last the school will let you enroll, but from experience, he'd be fine missing that much.

All the cool kids are here, well, except for you of course.

Eat a dick, doc.

Re: Selby not going to class, awaiting NCAA news

The closest situation to Josh Selby situation was the Lance Stephenson saga last year.

Lance cleared to play November 4th, 2009

Lance was cleared on November 4th just one day before the first exhibition game. He was allowed to play in that game. Somebody explain this to me. Was Lance paying his own way the entire first semester? If not how was he in school. How did he play first semester?

What people need to realize is the NCAA is still evaluating the academic question marks. I am afraid the "amateur status" questions are going to be reviewed much later.

The role out the same excuse every year too ...

Re: Selby not going to class, awaiting NCAA news

So nobody knows how Cincinnati got Lance cleared and playing in the same week in November. I think the only answer is lance was paying his own way.

Perhaps somebody at KU should be looking into this strategy.

Isn't today @ 5 the deadline? Maybe we can get his agent to pay for his classes until he gets cleared. :dirtybird

Re: Selby not going to class, awaiting NCAA news

The Shiver is now reporting that Selby has been cleared, citing "multiple sources."
http://theshiver.com/2010/09/selby-all-set/

Edit: Just kidding.

According to sources on Sunday afternoon- Selby has been cleared academically, allowing him to immediately start attending class at Kansas when school begins on Tuesday. However, Selby has yet to be cleared in regards to his amateur status. This means that Selby is not allowed to participate in any team activities until his amateur status has been cleared.

Re: Selby not going to class, awaiting NCAA news

this must have been exactly what happened to Lance Stephenson....so I guess my question is answered.

Re: Selby not going to class, awaiting NCAA news

At least he can go to classes now. Hopefully full clearance is on the way. Unfortunately, that means the NCAA can take as long as they want now.

Re: Selby not going to class, awaiting NCAA news

So is he going to classes or not?
