This is true. It's why the biggest error made in the whole episode by Gross/JB was ever sitting Fab for the tournament. They vacated our wins even for the period of time that Fab was held out (I'm not sure why, but I'm sure there is a very NCAA reason for it).
The AD and/or coach having a meeting about how to restore the eligibility of player is not a problem at all. I'm sure it must happen daily in most big athletics departments. In fact, if they don't have such meetings, then what kind of "educators" are they. If they have two jobs #1 is educator and #2 is to obtain wins, both are served by attempting to keep players eligible. It's like the top thing they do. The meeting was not a meeting direct impermissible actions, it was to determine what avenues existed within the university's rules to restore the good academic standing of a player. Anyway - whatever. Looking forward to this season.
