BREAKING: Allonzo Trier ruled ineligible for rest of season after drug test

[WILD]

Hearing Arizona is hoping Trier will be eligible very soon as the B sample is being requested to be tested, which they believe has a good chance of coming back negative.

Sean Miller says he hopes Trier is cleared by as soon as tomorrow!

Not sure what NCAA is doing but they better hurry and make a final decision on the matter asap. Isn't there a way for the UA Basketball and Zo to sue if Zo comes back? Sigh...

That was my thought too.  If the facts we are hearng ifrom his mother and others are accurate he should have one heck of a lawsuit!

If Trier's appeal is denied or not answered quickly, I would not be surprised if the lawyers sought an injunction against the NCAA.  Of course the risk is that if a subsequent lawsuit did not find in favor of Trier, the UofA would have to vacate any wins they have with Trier during disputed eligibility.  I don't think this has ever happened before, but seriously, what does Trier and UofA have to lose?

Interesting article here on why nobody does this: https://sports.vice.com/en_us/article/8qy533/how-a-little-known-ncaa-rule-shuts-athletes-out-of-the-legal-system

But given the circumstances, this may be an opportunity to buck the system.

Thanks for posting Eel.  That is a really interesting article and just shows again how evil the NCAA truly is.

I had to dig all the way to the fourth page to bump this thread.

Anyway, has anyone heard anything about the status of Trier's appeal?  Before all hell broke loose on Friday, Miller has said he thought Trier could have played Saturday against Oregon.

I know the NCAA moves slower than molasses though.

If it is like last year even if he wins the appeal we would still have to wait until the drug totally leaves his system... not sure that will happen in the couple weeks but I have my fingers crossed.
