Man the ncaa is a sick person if they don't let our hero play football. Well maybe the ncaa people never served this country so they don't know what it is like to be able to say Semper Fi. RTR!

This is the kind of crap the NCAA should just be ashamed of themselves for.

The university appealed the NCAA's original ruling and got back Rhodes' full eligibility, but the organization said he still had to sit out this season.

NCAA finally says Marine eligible to play this year.

Quote
The NCAA saved faced Monday with the announcement that 24-year-old Steven Rhodes, attempting to walk on to play football at Middle Tennessee State University, would be immediately eligible.

Here's the press release:

Quote
As a part of its continued review of Steven Rhodes’ eligibility, NCAA staff determined he may play immediately. Additionally, he will maintain all four years of his eligibility.
Throughout this process, NCAA staff worked closely with Middle Tennessee State University, and we appreciate the school’s partnership.
As a part of the ongoing review of NCAA rules, our members will examine the organized competition rules, especially as it impacts those returning from military service.
We thank Steven for his service to our country and wish him the best as he begins college.

It took awhile but the NCAA finally made a correct ruling. I hope the young man has a good career and gets his degree.
