Council’s Sixth Year Battle Heats Up | Kansas Jayhawks Basketball News

Melvin Council Jr., the Kansas guard fighting to play a sixth year, faces a high-stakes legal showdown with the NCAA—his case could reshape college basketball eligibility rules. A New York judge ordered the NCAA to appear in court on September 23rd, but blocked immediate play, giving the governing body a temporary win. Council’s team argues his junior college time shouldn’t count against his four-year limit, while the NCAA claims he delayed filing suit too long. With Kansas’s late enrollment deadline just two days before the court date and their big event, Late Night in the Phog, set for October 16th, the outcome could determine whether Council joins the team this season—or if other schools swoop in. The clock is ticking. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
