Well we for sure should take away Jean Michael's scholarship, although we won't. Just crushing.

That statement is a joke.
There has got to be more to this. You have to consider the timing of this announcement w/ enrollment right around the corner.
WOW.

And we shouldn't. No need to be vindictive. It will only hurt on the program in the long run.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/11214190/smu-mustangs-prospect-emmanuel-mudiay-headed-overseasThe source said that Under Armor -- which sponsors Prime Prep and also Mudiay's summer team, Mo Williams Elite -- is helping him land a lucrative deal overseas.
Gee, I wonder if Under Armour is who we can thank for this mess in the first place. Nice of them to help him out!

its not about class - its about using up a valuable spot. He gets two free years at SMU - pretty good deal for riding coattails.

It sure would have been nice if he had discussed these financial issues with Mom before his commitment.
Is this worse than the Larry Johnson fiasco? It sure feels that way too me.

IMO, he was going to be ineligible anyway due to Deion's shithole school. Bolted for money to avoid any controversy
