His business is related to shoes, not athletic performance.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

What exactly are the NCAA rules when you yourself are an owner (or part owner) of a company? Let's say you have a small business while you are in college, can you not profit off of your own work as a student-athlete? Does NCAA ban you from having a job? I don't see how they could do that.

The MASTERS can do whatever they want

De La Haye’s YouTube channel has more than 95,500 subscribers. Earlier this year, UCF began investigating whether his videos violated the NCAA’s rules prohibiting student-athletes from making money off of their images. The university sent a waiver to the NCAA on De La Haye’s behalf, according to statements released by UCF and the NCAA.

“The waiver, which was granted, stated De La Haye could maintain his eligibility and continue to monetize videos that did not reference his status as a student-athlete or depict his football skill or ability," UCF said in its statement. "The waiver also allowed him to create videos that referenced his status as a student-athlete or depict his football skill or ability if they were posted to a non-monetized account. De La Haye chose not to accept the conditions of the waiver and has therefore been ruled ineligible to compete in NCAA-sanctioned competition. UCF Athletics wishes him the best in his future endeavors.”\

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

I'm not sure why this is funny. What if his shoe company was making crocs instead? As long as the kid isn't appearing in commercials for the product, then I don't see the problem.

One thing is for certain. It's hard to win against the NCAA.

I still wonder what's going on behind the scenes that would provoke pulling LaMelo from school.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

Are you going to argue that the selling of athletic shoes has nothing to do with the athletic performance of the athlete endorsing the shoe? Why do athletic shoe companies give millions to NBA players just to wear them?

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

But who cares? These coaches and administrators live like kings and the athlete can't even sell their likeness?

I think they should be able to also. It still doesn't change the rule currently though.

Well the new coach told him he would not be able to stand in the corner, refuse to play defense and jack up 50 shots a game. Lavar did not like that.

I hope the whole family dies of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yes it is.

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Third coach in three years

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

At what point are people going to tire of Ball and the constant sideshow? Read the other day where he had a line of people waiting to sign his autograph. I don't much pay attention to the stories surrounding him but if you are watching a game involving his son then his name invariably pops up.

I think this kid is ranked #7 in his class so I'm sure he is in some NBA radars. I haven't followed anything about him. His development as a basketball player and student is going to be effected by this.

Weird, I see Dolphin looking in my asshole

Yeah, I don't think this helps LaMelo at all. "Training" is not even close to the same as developing through live games against real competition. Lavar is fucking up big time.

This is going to reach a head pretty soon.

I can see him shipping him to a prep school at some point. I think he overreached this time. Two years of training makes very little sense. He probably thinks AAU games in conjunction with training will be enough.

Is there not enough club ball or AAU to keep him busy?

I know in some sports high school kids are choosing elite travel programs over school teams.

That's what he will have him doing. Lavar Ball runs an AAU program. AAU isn't the same from a competitive standpoint. He'd be better off sending to him to one of those big time prep schools that play nothing but big time prep schools. If that were to happen then he could have a better chance at being able to evaluate his son. The problem would once again be Lavar however. Schools such as these tend to be loaded with high major kids that are potential NBA players. His son wouldn't be featured as much because they'd have guys that are better. Once this occurs Lavar would undoubtedly blow a gasket.

I guess Lavar will need to start his own prep school.

He has replaced Todd Marinovich's Dad as the worst sports parent ever.

Is Andy Reid in the discussion?

Ah, Lemonparty, the 8th sacrament.
