Congratulations to my former Hutchinson Community College teammate Tristan on getting his eligibility restored. His outcome gives hope to many of us still waiting for our futures to be decided.
Every day that passes is another day athletes affected by the NCAA v. Pavia JUCO eligibility case remain in limbo. We have trained, sacrificed, and done everything asked of us. Now we're simply asking for a timely decision and fair treatment.
I'm ready to play, ready to contribute, and open to any opportunity this season. The game shouldn't be taken away from athletes while we wait for legal clarity.
Respectfully, it's time for action. Let these athletes get back on the field and continue pursuing their dreams.
