Marco or Sanchez?

I would imagine it's also true that the NCAA is probably woefully understaffed.    Not making excuses for them, but think of the amount of athletes they have to investigate every season. 

I'm no business major, but I would love to see the books.  The amount of money they make (or potentially make) seems staggering.  It is hard for me to believe that they can't afford to hire more people.  Am I off base here?

The president of the "not for profit organization" the NCAA made $1.6 million in 2010.

they can be wrong...but they shouldn't throw shit against the ceiling hoping some sticks.

as far as these boards go...the name of the source should be run by the administrator...who can decide on whether to run the post.  there's a wealth of misinformation that gets people's hopes up.

Newsie you and I are friends and I'm telling you right now that I know for a fact who told Matt C the info and trust me while the info could be wrong there is no way in the world Matt is throwing anything against the ceiling. His source has been closer to the school than you and I would ever get or anyone that we know personally

that's great to know...i'm praying you're right.

moose, reporters ALWAYS disclose their sources to their bosses when asked.

I assume our guys were not permitted to travel. Not reading anything into this, just sharing. I realize Hawaii and Charleston are distinctly different geographical challenges. Hopefully our problem is resolved soon. NCAA seems to finally be getting these determinations resolved.

“@SethDavisHoops: Texas release announces that Myck Kabongo is permitted to travel with the team to Hawaii. Does that mean an NCAA decision is forthcoming?”

Hopefully this isn't a joke.

According to @steveinman, Bourgault has been cleared by the NCAA. Reportedly raised his hand in class, said he was cleared and left. #stjbb

Seems legit. Hopefully we hear on Orlando soon.

Torch Sports ‏@TorchSports
Marco Bourgault has been cleared to play by the NCAA, according to sources. #stjbb

great news. assume this means he was cleared as a soph as well

Pobee on RM is claiming he has a source that confirmed a flight has been booked to get Marco down to SC before the game. 

Hopefully Marco adds to the momentum we've been building in these first two games. 

Great news. We need a shooter.

Butwe also need a back to the basket post player. We need Orlando

That's the word.  I'd expect to see him for 10 minutes tonight.

That must be what happened. Still a funny story.

From the St. John's official Twitter:
