Baylor already won this battle. It's why I keep saying State needs to jump in these waters before everybody is doing it.

No- but we could have an OF of Tanner Allen, Colton Ledbetter, and Rowdey Jordan. Carribean Jerk and Nate Dohm need some more innings also

The Baylor situation was different. This Bama situation is a whole new Pandora?s box.

Not really. He entered the draft. Was drafted. He turned it down and went pro in the Euro League. Professional is professional. Entering and remaining in the draft.....

Courts make all decisions. NCAA isn't allowed to do anything in governing its own sports. I dont understand it.

Bama has no shame. Oats lets murderers play for him. Win at all costs.
