Has anyone posted an alert for women around the Syracuse campus now that Fab has a fair amount of extra time on his hands?
(and is more than likely in a foul mood)
Has anyone asked Seth Davis to comment?

This would never happen in the ACC.  |

Thinking about it, how do "academic issues" from the first semester come up NOW. My brother at Syracuse got his final grades a few days after he took the finals. I think he said his last grade came in before Christmas.
If there were issues, they've been pretty lenient for 3-4 weeks now about them. Which is why I think this is more than just failing a class or something.
And then I spoke to my brother, who says the Syracuse University rumor mill is churning with news that "its not academic"
Stay tuned folks!

Syracuse papers are waving their Orange pompoms about the tough adjustment Fab has had to make to the American educational system. I can see their point. New language, different culture, can't beat the crap out of girls, stuff like that.
Maybe instead of entertaining Seth Davis with his jocularity, he should have been studying.
Oh well, he's from Cuse, screw him.

Insiders on Syracuse board all are confident Melo rejoins the team effective Tuesday. Given its track record with previous Orange malcontents, I would expect nothing less from 'Cuse.

Seth Davis will be happy. After all, what's not doing your schoolwork or smacking someone around when you're a good interview?

1 rumor I've heard was that he was in a class where other people cheated so they're making the entire class retake the final. Of course that sounds like very wishful thinking on cuse fan's part.
The other current rumor is that he's been declared ineligible and his appeal is on tuesday. If he fails appeal he's out the semester.

I'm guessing the members of the Appeals Board are Gerry McNamara, Derrick Coleman and Laurie Fine. |

That was the original board composition, but DC had to stop and eat out of a bowl on thefloor and missed the proceedings; Laurie was enjoying a recruiting visit; and Ratboy had fry duty.

How do "academic issues" take "a while" to get sorted out? Seriously. NCAA eligibility issues, HS transcript issues, being paid by a foreign team before coming to the U.S. -- those things take a while. But Melo has been at Cuse for 3+ semesters now. There has to be more to this story. |

And I realize that he's not from the US, but if any 'Cuse fans start trying to use language barrier as an excuse/explanation for academic shortcomings, they're three semesters too late. |

There has to be more to this story. The one thing that comes to mind is an allegation of something that would result in the NCAA ruling the player ineligible if he plays. While I'm not saying it, the best example that comes to mind is an allegation of cheating on a final that's contested. The allegation could come after class has started and thus affect his eligibility. |

Can we fix the gorram capital A in this thread title already?
It is really bugging the crap out of me.
Fab deserves no extra capitalization, whatsoever.
Sorry for that. Had to get it off my chest.

I'm with you, BOz. Gorramit!
What a shame for Melo and 'Cuse. Not.

Melo will conveniently be reinstated at 6:59 p.m. on Feb. 8, will plod out of the tunnel for opening tip, and the Orangeheads will explode with ecstasy. Until they realize that we are not cowering with dread, and they actually have to play the game against us.
