Cliff Alexander eligibility issue

Very interesting that the reason has remained undisclosed. I'd be willing to bet this goes away and Alexander is back for the post season. It's Kansas.

My nephews are KU grads and huge supporters and they told me last weekend that they heard his mom took money from an agent. Who knows.

Kansas must not be committed to big time men's basketball as the administration allowed a player to be declared ineligible.

Don't think this is a grade issue. I believe this might be a totally different situation.

Maybe he was high when he filled out the paperwork. Or used his transcript to roll a fattie.

Once they get Jerrance to flip on LB and SMU, they will let Alexander play again.

hmm it appears there may be some similarities between systematic eligibility issues at both Alexander's and Frazier's high schools ie the failure to follow school rules involving technical paperwork concerning a rule waiver or exception affecting numerous student athlete in calculating eligibility-yet both Frazier and Alexander were allow to compete in their schools playoff games:

"Curie was the top seed in the Marist sectional of the Illinois High School Association 4A basketball playoffs, and the erstwhile No. 2 team in the entire country. But with the Chicago Public Schools ruling seven players academically ineligible for the entire season, the Condors were officially winless.

Alexander's season began with a minor but overplayed controversy when he angered emotional Illinois fans by deking them on his signing day and committing to coach Bill Self and the Jayhawks.

It ended in controversy as an undermanned Curie escaped procedural limbo only to be blasted into reality.

It's a story that would sound bizarre and unfair, but it's so very Chicago.

The last time the Condors left a basketball court, they were 24-1 and celebrating the school's first-ever Chicago Public League championship after outlasting Whitney Young in a four-overtime thriller on Feb. 21.

Curie was late to that game at Chicago State University because a tipster called CPS and alerted them to the academic snafu. The team was held up at its Southwest Side school until given the go-ahead to compete. The Condors were stripped of their title a week later in a wild, confusing story about eligibility, paperwork and kids paying for adults' mistakes.

Curie was found to have played with seven ineligible players all season. CPS athletes have to maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA, or have an "individual study plan" in writing. Curie failed to get those ISPs done, according to CPS and Curie coach Mike Oliver."
