"This is an academic issue related to the first suspension," a source told ESPN.com's Dana O'Neil. "He was initially cleared after the first suspension but the NCAA has since revisited the case and deemed him ineligible again."

yes it is. vacating wins, while not meaning anything unless we win it all, is a possibility.

Why? If he was eligible while an appeal was in process, he would be allowed to play.

No, because he initially was cleared by the NCAA, who have now apparently changed their mind.

why would jb play an ineligble player

Why would we have to vacate wins when the NCAA cleared him to come back? If they hadn't cleared him, he wouldn't have played. They relooked at his case and determined him ineligible.

So why did the NCAA revisit if they declared him eligible after their first review? Could Melo have screwed up with something academically that they were not made aware in the first decision?

We're screwed. NCAA is locked and loaded.

We could become the first sub 21-12 team to get a #1 seed. That would be an interesting distinction.

the NCAA - one of the most morally corrupt organizations in America. And Fab for not doing the work and letting down his teammates.

Crap. Calhoun would jump ahead of JB.
