The NCAA has denied the request of Braxton Beverly and the NC State freshman will be ineligible for the upcoming season.
In case you missed it, Beverly took a class at Ohio State prior to a coaching change and a subsequent decision to head to Raleigh and NC State. That class will keep Beverly from participating this season.
BackingThePack.com chimed in on the decision...
This is utterly, wholly, cosmically stupid, of course, but am I surprised by any of it? No, not in the least. The NCAA is very good at having selective tunnel vision when it is so inclined, especially when it can point to a clear-cut piece of the rule book. Nevermind the circumstances! Without rules there is only college basketball anarchy! Chaos in the streets! Dogs and cats living together!
Beverly will still have 4 years of eligibilty remaining.
