That said, the 46% graduation rate in the basketball program is not anything to brag about.<BR/><BR/>As for Glover's case, someone dropped the ball badly if an athletic scholarship was his only prospect of paying for school (as with other students, there should have been other options). Who advised him to continue his enrollment at Seton Hall in the hopes of winning an appeal of the NCAA's determination of his lack of eligibility? Was it Gonzalez himself?Profanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05131628865279071396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5644587556919650515.post-46447667267729945482008-09-29T18:15:00.000-04:002008-09-29T18:15:00.000-04:00The situation with Mike Glover was different than ...The situation with Mike Glover was different than others out there. Mike was not informed about the disqualification of his senior year until after he matriculated at Seton Hall. Since his team mate Tyrke Evans was cleared he felt that he would be cleared as well. Memphis was national runner up last year. Tyrke is a cornerstone of that rebuilding class, which has many non-graduates moving on. The problem was that even though Mike paid for his freshman year in full and has passed all of his classes, the NCAA has never given him a reason for not qualifying and the Big East conference does not allow partial qualifiers which leaves him in limbo. Other students such as Mike Davis who was deemed a academic disaster prior to matriculating has not only excelled in the atmosphere created by Athletic Academic advisor Robin Cunningham, but maintained a 3.8GPA for his freshman year. Seton Hall has most of its team pulling passing grades and staying for four years if they are a fit on the team. It is unfair to categorize every situation the same way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
