Kansas' Darrell Arthur in some trouble over HS grades

[Russ Smith]

It appears to me this can't really touch Kansas since the Clearinghouse approved Arthur's transcripts but I admit I'm not familiar with the rules on that.

essentially claimes arthur's grades were fixed in HS and he will be facing being declared ineligible for HS games and have a state title vacated for his school.

He declared for the NBA draft without an agent. My guess is this won't touch Kansas, earlier today net rumor had Kansas using an ineligible player in the championship game but it appears that's overstating it I think this only matters for HS.

Same old , same old. Don't know who is worse. High Schools who use invisible ink or the colleges who rent these cheaters for a year.

Hold the Mayo.

Well, as Russ has said, the Clearinghouse ok'd Arthur to play NCAA ball and he had to muster at least a 1 1/2 years at KU to stay eligible (unless like some people will think we just played the same game as South Oak.

From what I've heard Arthur was a pretty upstanding student athlete on campus in that he didn't do anything to warrant attention or suspicion. Kid wasn't going to stay around for a degree under any circumstance.

Yeah I think the only argument that hurts Kansas is the same HS had a kid the year before Arthur ruled ineligible for the same thing. But if you hold that against Kansas you hold it against the Clearinghouse too.

There's some precedent in the past the NCAA has ruled kids ineligible who passed the clearinghouse earlier and I don't recall them forfeiting games, just suspending the player.

J'Mison Morgan goes to the same HS and has a 3.8 GPA, so if they were fixing his grades they were a bit too obvious about it.
