NC State Basketball
The Masses Sound Off on the Absurd Braxton Beverly Ruling
Yesterday the NCAA denied NC State’s appeal for Freshman Braxton Beverly’s eligibility, and let’s just say NC State fans weren’t the only ones enraged by the nonsensical ruling. Some of the most prominent voices covering college basketball sounded off.
The NCAA has denied Braxton Beverly’s waiver to play at NC State this season. Another nonsensical ruling. Incredible.

NCAA continues to make indefensible decisions. NC State’s Braxton Beverly’s appeal was denied by NCAA. Unconscionable. Wrong. Embarrassing.

Frosh Braxton Beverly had audacity to take summer classes. Then Thad Matta was fired. Now has to sit out at NC State this year. Oh NCAA why?

NCAA has denied Braxton Beverly’s appeal for immediate eligibility. Seriously. How about some actual common sense at that place.

The NCAA denied Braxton Beverly’s appeal for immediate eligibility. That association is such a joke. It’s enfuriating.

The NCAA’s decision to deny Braxton Beverly’s waiver is embarrassing/shameful – not to mention tone deaf.

Agree 100% with Gary, which he so well wrote, on this. What is the NCAA trying to hold onto here? https://t.co/5QSP5HocDk

NCAA denies immediate eligibility for Braxton Beverly. “Disappointed would be an understatement for how I feel for Braxton.” Kevin Keatts.
