""Right now he's not eligible to play against UAB," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said Monday on the Tiger Talk radio show. "It's an ongoing process and I don't know that we'll know anything more conclusive before Friday. It's obviously extremely frustrating to go through this process. There's so much that gets involved with eligibility and grades and core and test scores and all those different things. We've got a great compliance staff here in Auburn and our compliance staff is doing everything they can to work with the testing agency and the NCAA to get this to some conclusion. I'm disappointed but not discouraged." "

Again, the NCAA isn't the reason. The ACT is the reason. The NCAA has cleared him, but if he plays and the ACT score is invalidated, he would be ineligible and AU would forfeit any games he played in. And Brice can't afford the black eye of playing him and then getting hit with forfeits if his score is invalidated.

The ACT is not currently validated. We're not waiting for them to invalidate a validated ACT.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. In that case, the NCAA can't clear him.

That's my understanding of all the available information-- I have no inside info. But Bruce hasn't said he's eligible, but we're being careful. He said he's not currently eligible.

So Bruce mistated?

No. There is nothing in Bruce's above statement that conflicts with what jared52 said. If the higher score is not validated by the ACT board, obviously the NCAA will have to become involved at that point.

Attempting to stay within NCAA requirements and waiting for an NCAA decision are vastly different things. We're concerned about meeting requirements, not waiting for a decision from the NCAA.

Bruce said he wasn't eligible to play-- are you saying he is and we're holding him out?

I say play him. We aren't going to have any chance at all at post season play without him so what would it really hurt if we did end up forfeiting games? We would atleast have a chance at post season with him. The way we play right now, we are only risking forfeiting games in a .500 season. Who really cares about protecting that?

Depends on what you & Bruce mean by eligible. You may not be thinking the same thing. The Auburn compliance department has deemed him "ineligible", and rightfully so. The NCAA has not, though they will if the decision of the ACT is not favorable and AU notifies them of such a decision. At this point in time, Auburn is the holdup, waiting for the ACT decision. The NCAA is not.

I have now made what I believe is going on here as clear as I can make it, from several different angles. Are you really having such a tough time understanding what I'm saying? If you don't believe what I think is true, fine. Get your own source and come up with something different.

The guy just coming off a show cause cars. You don't play a guy you know is a risk of being declared ineligible. That's career suicide.

This is the clearest you've been . Earlier you said "the ncaa is not involved" and Bruce said our staff is working with them, so there are some semantics involved there to rectify what he has said and what you are saying.

So in theory, if the ACT rules to reject his recent test, does that mean that they are ruling that foul play occurred, or just that they can't confirm that it didn't? And if they rule that foul play did occur, does that affect his eligibility for next season, or would he still be eligible as an initial partial qualifier (provided his grades are good)?

Bruce said we would know something before the new year. And the new year is almost here.

And it's passed. I'm suprised there hasn't been some news.

If he hasn't been cleared yet, I have serious doubts he ever plays at AU

No he will play for Auburn at some time. There are only two possible outcomes from the ACT decision: he qualifies, or he partially qualifies. He will remain at Auburn regardless. The question is whether he will play this year or next year.

And if they decide something is off in his ACT score, wouldn't that make him ineligible?

I think they can invalidate w/o finding fault.
