Sergeant Zip Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 On 10/3/2026 at 2:24 PM, clarkwgriswold said: The NCAA issued a statement that the Ohio Court of Appeals has issued a decision that the preliminary injunction allowing players like Evan to play was an abuse of discretion by the trial court and undid the injunction. There should still be an avenue available to the Ohio Supreme Court but I suspect that would take more time than they have. The plaintiffs (which include Tavari, Amani, and Evan) filed a notice that they will appeal. NCAA to respond today. 1 Quote

I don't think he's currently with a team for the preseason, so it would appear his chances ended after the summer league. Quote
kreed5120 Posted October 12 Report Posted October 12 Kenpom has released their 2027 preseason rankings. I'm not really a person to put too much stock into them, but I'm ready for the season to start. https://kenpom.com/ Below rounds out how they place the MAC top 5. I read somewhere else, can't remember where, Kenpom has the MAC ranked 12th overall for conference strength. Akron - 109 Kent - 121 Miami - 123 Toledo - 136 Ohio - 143 5 Quote

I really hope the courts see through the crap and rule in favor of the athletes. Here is an interesting excerpt... "The Athletes completed four seasons of NCAA basketball during a four-year period and therefore exhausted their eligibility under the rules applicable during their years of play. The Athletes do not dispute that they are no longer eligible under the Four-in-Five Year Rule that applied each year they played collegiate sports." At the golf outing, Dustin Ford made the point that all the 2026-27 freshman committed under the Four-in-Five Year Rule but are now covered under the Five-in-Five Year Rule along with 3(?) other classes of athletes. All they had to do was grandfather in this class to avoid the chaos. The NCAA's stance is weak and we are less than a month away from the season. I hope the courts stick it to 'em for creating this mess. Edited October 13 by Let'sGoZips94 2 Quote

Akron - 109 Kent - 121 Miami - 123 Toledo - 136 Ohio - 143 I agree, it’s not worth putting too much stock into this, but I have to think this assessment is more analytical and objective than the MAC coaches poll. I think the coaches in the MAC were voting what they wish to happen more than anything else. They have to be getting Akron fatigue at this point. Come on Coach Ford, let’s keep this train rolling!! 1 Quote
