August 14, 200818 yr http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080814/SPT0101/308140052&referrer=FRONTPAGECAROUSEL I really enjoyed watching the kid play, and what he did at UC. However, there comes a time when you just need to move on with your life.
August 14, 200818 yr I don't see how this could be helping the team.He needs to move on with whatever his life plans are.Let the Bearcats move on also.
August 14, 200818 yr I don't like the move, but I can't say I blame him. He was told going into the last appeal he'd have 10 minutes to finally state his case, and in the end he didn't get it...
August 14, 200818 yr This will be interesting. Reminds me of the issues the KHSAA faces when a judge issues a restraining order against disallowing a player to participate.
August 14, 200818 yr LET IT GO man, move on. The rules apply to everyone. You had your 5 years. Go be a BA for UC and move on with your life. It's beyond sad at this point.
August 14, 200818 yr LET IT GO man, move on. The rules apply to everyone. You had your 5 years. Go be a BA for UC and move on with your life. It's beyond sad at this point. Incorrect. There are rules in place to allow 6 years if two years were lost to injury. He feels he fits this profile even though Wake didn't properly document his injury as a freshman. It's not like the screw in his foot magically went away that year...

He feels he fits this profile even though Wake didn't properly document his injury as a freshman. It's not like the screw in his foot magically went away that year...It's maybe happened 1 or 2 times in 10 years. Either way, you've appealled 47 times, and lost. Move on.
August 14, 200818 yr It's maybe happened 1 or 2 times in 10 years. Either way, you've appealled 47 times, and lost. Move on. A 6th year was just granted to a WVU player. It happens about 4-5 times a year in football and basketball. And I've said this to you before. If you were in his shoes, you'd give up your dream before exhausting every option? Says a lot...
August 14, 200818 yr And I've said this to you before. If you were in his shoes, you'd give up your dream before exhausting every option? Says a lot... All jokes aside, I'm not gonna knock the guy exactly for this reason. If I were lucky enough to have played big time D1 football, I'm pulling out all the stops for it not to end. Suing isn't exactly the admirable way to go about it, in my opinion, but if he thinks he has a chance, so be it.

If you were in his shoes, you'd give up your dream before exhausting every option? Says a lot... There's a difference in exhausting all options and just being dense. After appeal #37 I'd have got the hint.
August 14, 200818 yr There's a difference in exhausting all options and just being dense. After appeal #37 I'd have got the hint. Only 3 appeals, and he never once got to state his case about the year in question at Wake. You'd quit? Got it...
August 14, 200818 yr This will be interesting. Reminds me of the issues the KHSAA faces when a judge issues a restraining order against disallowing a player to participate. BK is not going to play him on a court order. Only way he is back on the team is if cleared by the NCAA. The part that will be interesting is the NCAA not following their appeals process that say in the final appeal he gets to state his case...
August 14, 200818 yr From Ben's lawyer... "The NCAA denied Mr. Mauk's request even though a virtually identical request was recently granted to another student-athlete. In denying Mr. Mauk's request, the NCAA held Mr. Mauk responsible for the lack of information contained in his medical files while at Wake Forest University, even though Mr. Mauk had no control over those files. In the absence of those records, the NCAA failed to fully consider other relevant, contemporaneous medical evidence of Mr. Mauk's injury. The NCAA also made its decision without affording Mr. Mauk the opportunity for an oral hearing, an opportunity provided for in the NCAA's regulations. The NCAA's actions are breeches of its contractual and fiduciary duties it owes Mr. Mauk. Its application of its rules to Mr. Mauk is arbritray and capricious."

I live life by two rules: 1) Never believe any lawyer speak. "Virtually identical" means not similar at all. 2) There is nothing I enjoy more than getting you riled up little buddy.
