Kanter Ruling Expected Today

 Send This Story To A Friend

The long battle over the eligibility of Kentucky signee Enes Kanter is expected to come to an end today.  “A source close to the situation” has told FoxSports.com that the NCAA is likely to reveal its decision shortly.

The NCAA already ruled the Turkish big man “permanently ineligible,” but UK officials re-filed his case after the governing body’s Cam Newton ruling.

Can you say, “But Kanter didn’t know what his parents were doing?”

We at MrSEC.com have our fingers crossed for Kanter to be cleared.  If player ignorance works in one athlete’s favor it should work in other athletes’ favor, too. 

But we won’t be holding our breath.  In Kanter’s case, money changed hands.  In Newton’s it did not.  The NCAA will likely fall back on that fact and ignore what Kanter might or might not have known.
