Per @GoodmanESPN, #SMU F Markus Kennedy has been ruled ineligible for the first semester

Which is much more believable than the five games rumor.

Not sure we will ever see him in a SMU jersey again. Insert next player to step up.

This school makes it impossible to root for a winner. I hate my almamater.

You're joking right? Do you want smu to become like UNC? If the ncaa catches any fishy business outside of the p5 they will drop the hammer in a heartbeat

Don't say that. He'll be back probably 1st or 2nd game of conference play.

I don't think he means cheating. And by the way, SMU did the UNC stuff during the Pony Express era so it is not like SMU is a bunch of saints in the area either. But I don't believe MK was failing but that he did not meet the universities requirements as Stallion has stated.

Like UNC? With multiple national championships and a #30 ranking in USNWR? Yes. Yes I do! Where my wife attended and enjoyed multiple athletic successes in the teams she rooted for? Yes. Yes I do.

You guys are such rubes. MK is here to do one thing - play BB.

YOU ARE STUCK IN A DIFFERENT ERA.

[ponyinNC]

Huge difference between systemic cheating and sham classes and getting ONE PLAYER eligible.

We hope. In the mean time I am ready to see someone step up.

First semester ends before Michigan. Someone with a connection to the program said it is possible that MK is active on 12/20 for his first game.

[Rebel10]

The question is if MK was passing but not meeting GPA standards could they have used an exception waiver on that, which is not cheating.

You better pray you do otherwise you can kiss this promising season goodbye. He needs to be eligible to make any sort of tourney run.

Last year before the season would we have so much gloom and doom about losing MK? Just trying to keep perspective, this opens up room for someone to explode and at the least for experience.

I am excited to see what B Moore can do with this opportunity. That is how I choose to see it.
