Just hoping it's not NCAA related as the reported 4 games seems strange as a length of time. Not much more to say until something come out with real sources and facts, or until Maynard starts the first game, which would make the speculation very unfortunate, but no one can undo it at this point.

He wasn't the only one, just the first.

Faraudo said, Cal said he was academically eligible. He didn't say Maynard was starting or that the 4 game thing was false. The original thread that started it all never mentioned academics. Not saying I believe it, just trying to clarify.

Wild speculation: he's academically eligible but still won't play 4 games. Wtf did he do??? <img src="<img src="<img src="<img src="<img src="" />" />" />" />"><br /><br /><br />Either way: put in the Bridgman!!!

I imagine the reality of the situation is something like that.

Don't know if this is semantics but it was reported that he is academically eligible. I assumes this means he is <b>currently</b> eligible and not <b>currently</b> ineligible which would be the case if it were any of the academic reasons stated above.
