Hey KG, you were hyperventilating the other day about Kansas's hotshot freshman Josh Selby, so I recognized his name in the ESPN news just now.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=5827821My favorite part was Kansas coach Bill Self living up to his name. If there is a more hypocritical organization in this country than the NCAA I don't know what it is. The kid took money. He was the top recruit in the country and he didn't know he wasn't supposed to do that?
(Better than Cam Newton, the Auburn QB who not only took money, he asked for it -- and he is in line to win the Heisman Trophy. Excuse me while I barf).
From the ESPN story ---
Coach Bill Self had said all along he was confident that Selby would eventually be allowed to play.
"I really am proud of Josh," Self said. "Now, I may be mad at him tomorrow but I'm really proud of him because this was a situation -- get here, can't go to school then you can go to school, can't practice. After you can practice, can't practice any more. He's dealt with several things that would really make a young man's mind cluttered. And he's been mature about this. I think he's really handled it pretty well, and his family has."
Self said he agreed that Selby hadn't done anything wrong, but "we do have rules.
"And the NCAA stated even though longtime acquaintance, even though a friend of the son, even though a mentor, there are still some situations that happened long before he got here that Josh admitted to that he's going to have to deal with. But he'll handle it like a man. And we'll look forward to having him out here."
The Kansas players have all remarked about how impressive Selby has looked in practice.
