In addition to all of their day to day duties, no where in a HS counsellors job description/contract does it state they need to know NCAA rules and regs for NCAA eligibility. I know because I know some in VA and I asked. Those that know some stuff, look it up themselves on their own time. We all know stuff is always changing so it's a gigantic time suck for the counsellors who may or may not ever have a d1 athlete to keep up with everything necessary to the letter.

You can say that's ridiculous, they should do it anyway. Think about your own jobs, when you finally go home how much do you want to bust out your laptop and research legalese documentation that you need to sort through and figure out what's relevant?

I'm not saying this counselor didn't screw up, but something didn't happen that should have. Heck Bam has said 3-4 times that Shy was getting his counsellors talking with SU to verify his schedule would suffice, as SU has the experts on this stuff. Clearly that's where the failure came from here, the SU staff and the counselors didn't get things done right, 5 classes is a huge screwup. Hopefully it's just a bump in the road for Marquise and he gets on the D1 level in 18 months.
