NCAA
The NCAA sure does have some strange rules and recently they have been stressing me out to the absolute max. so I am a transfer student to this school and I transferred in with 3 college English credits and according to the NCAA I needed 6 so because of this I am now ineligible for the baseball season and I just wish that my counselor at my old school would have maybe checked that rule and had the chance to have me take an English class before I got here so I was able to play baseball this year.
But what makes less sense than that is the fact that I am currently taking English classes currently in college here so you would think that after I finish this class I will become eligible for the spring part of the season but that just isn't how they work and I'm out for the whole year no matter how many English classes I take this semester. So moral of this blog is that I just am not too sure why the NCAA works the way it does but it sure knows how to stress me out.
And the part that stresses me out the most is the fact that after me looking for 2 seconds I was able to find the article that says what I need to become eligible, so why didn't my counselor do that when she knew I was transferring I wasn't aware there were any of these rules before I came here.

I would be pretty upset if I was in your position. It definitely does not make sense because you'll have this class finished by the spring season. Have you thought about appealing it with the NCAA. I don't really know how that works, but it could be worth a shot. I just know that sitting out for a whole year has to be pretty difficult, and I'm sure you'd do anything to play.
ReplyDeleteThe NCAA seems to be an organization that is very against their own athletes. The NCAA makes their money off of the athletes, yet they treat them horribly. I can't imagine how angered you are, both at your old counselor and at the NCAA. It is very unfortunate that you can't play this season, and hopefully this is a rule that gets changed in the future.
