Colonialcrester Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 How is he allowed to do this and Indiana gets into trouble buying a bumper sticker 20 years ago? If this isn't addressed then the NCAA is truly a joke. https://www.yahoo.com/news/big-baller-brand-releases-lamelo-172545927.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonialcrester Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Well we know what the dad is saying...he doesn't give a hoot about the NCAA. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/20520784/high-school-junior-lamelo-ball-now-signature-shoe-395 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Hoosier Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I was wander the same thing. I was told it is because it is like he is working for his dad at this point. However, I still find it very close to bending the rules or actually being a violation. Now how many shoe companies will this open them door to, to give college players their own shoe?

Coach1K Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I would think that the NCAA would rule him ineligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think so but this is the NCAA and shoe companies we are talking about...I don't think the NCAA will do crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Lavar Ball is an idiot. Why we continue to talk about Lavar and the Kartrashians is beyond my understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierJax Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Lavar said it didn't matter to him if he was ruled ineligible...wonder what Stevie thinks about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyHoosier Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Remember when Alford got suspended a game because he allowed his picture to be used in a sorority calendar used to raise money for charity? So many things to scratch your head about with this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW_Hoosier Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 NCAA players should be able to profit off of their own likeness in any way they can. Their schools sure do. The NCAA's hypocritical stance on "amateurism" is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach1K Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/20520784/high-school-junior-lamelo-ball-now-signature-shoe-395 UCLA also issued a statement to ESPN that could not comment specifically about LaMelo Ball, citing NCAA rules. "UCLA cannot comment on any prospective student-athlete until he or she has signed a letter of intent or scholarship agreement," the statement read." Any prospective student-athlete's amateur status needs to be certified prior to his or her participating in team activity. As such, NCAA eligibility is assessed at the start of every student-athlete's academic year and is re-evaluated, as needed. Once cleared by the NCAA, institutions can allow that student-athlete to participate." Here's the statement from UCLA as to why they can't say anything on the matter.
