🏀 Bediako eligibility status update… [Request for ruling from ALSC by Friday]

[Secondand26]

You guys realize this isn't over, right? It seems a lot think it is; here and nationally.

That's what I'm hoping. There has to be a better alternative on the Republican side than Tuberville.

No chance. This isn't like Graddick/Baxley/Hunt, there is no discord/controversy over who the next governor will be. Tubs has every Republican endorsement there is, including Trump. McFeeters did get the Alabama Cannabis Coalition endorsement, @TerryP . He's outraised the Dem frontrunner Doug Jones (who would be a disaster - perhaps even worse than Walt Maddox) over ten to one.

I was talking about Bediako.

Well sure, I'd take Bediako over Tuberville any day lol!

Problem. He isn't eligible.

Why not eligible? Age or foreign born, later of which doesn't disqualify one....

Now we know really how much the NCAA has in it power. Don't go to the NCAA, instead go to the government let them handle it.

Probably not old enough to run for governor.

This is high school civics class in 1985 now...don't you have to live in Alabama for seven years to be the Gov?

Remember, he's also from Canada...that's what was screwing with his NIL in the first place. He wasn't a citizen.

Not if you are Tuberville. The Alabama GOP decided not to examine a complaint about this (no link - I heard it on the radio news)

He was at Auburn for 10 years.

He was at Auburn for 10 years.

West Georgia doesn’t count

I believe this is what is in question :

• Interpretation: While some legal interpretations suggest7 years of continuous residency, debate often surrounds whether this means seven years immediately leading up to the election, or simply a cumulative total, though the "seven years next before" phrasing usually implies the former.

So many different things can be said here, but auburn hiring Pearl when he was under a show cause tells me that auburn doesn't respect the SEC or the NCAA, and they are selfish. And I think it was wrong.

 

[Kamikazi18627]

I don't quite believe you when you say you don't care what other schools are doing. That would mean you don't care if Bama is forced to play on an uneven playing field. That's a black and white matter; no shades of gray.

I don't like what's happening to high school kids. I've said that from day one. However.

I don't mind it's Alabama that's brought the national spotlight on this whole mess. I don't mind that one bit.

Self-realization is a positive step forward. We are all proud of you today.

Hello Pot....

Coming back to Alabama?

Short of a medical issue, or the proverbial "dead woman/live boy in his bed" situation, Tubs will be the next governor. He's a reliable conservative, and although the auburn connection is distasteful, he's probably as well equipped or better to run the state as other recent governors.

As I've mentioned, usually governors become senators, not the other way around. I'm hopeful Katie Britt stays in the Senate and builds seniority to help the state from where she is. About a week ago, the New York Times did a feature article on Britt as a rational broker to Trump, probably the most positive article I've seen from them on a sitting republican.

I will never vote for Tubberville. I will just write someone in before I do that. He is an idiot.

Butt hurt Pearl. Would be great to see Oats come out and ask where is he coaching now? Oh yeah I ran him out of the league. Oats is not one to not make some comment about it.
