H2o Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 https://www.roanoke.com/sports/college/va_tech/the-ncaa-process-is-horrible-brock-hoffman-s-family-blindsided/article_c5089c78-c931-11e9-a864-535f669b7652.html This is the story of Brock Hoffman, a young man at VT. He transferred to VT to be closer to his mother who had surgery for a brain tumor. Upon filling for a waiver to be eligible to play he was denied. He then filed an appeal that was also just recently denied. The NCAA said it was due to his mother returning to work after she had the surgery. WTF? Quote In hopes of bolstering their son’s appeal, Stephanie got letters from four different doctors outlining the side effects she deals with on a daily basis from her multiple surgeries. The NCAA surprised Brian Hoffman again when they came back with another line of questioning — why didn’t Stephanie Hoffman, 50, retire (after her diagnosis and surgery) from her job as a teacher? “We have almost a million dollars of medical bills,” Brian Hoffman said. “She’s a teacher and doesn’t have enough years to get full pay from her pension. We simply couldn’t afford it.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 The NCAA has morphed into something completely different than it was originally intended for. I'm fairly certain there's a lot if shady underhanded stuff going down with all of the money that is now being generated vs. when it was instituted. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Tim Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 The NCAA basically is meant to ensure the big boys make as much money as possible. They do not care about the students at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
