Nothing has been decided by the NCAA regarding Kansas University freshman Cliff Alexander’s eligibility issue, coach Bill Self said on today’s Big 12 teleconference.
“We found out about it Saturday and there have only been a couple hours of work hours since then, so obviously there’s no update on that situation,” Self said.
“I would think we’re not going to give a day-to-day update. We’ll just wait. Whenever we know something we’ll let you (media) know, but as of now there’s no new timeline. Everything’s just the same. We’re just trying to get as much stuff done as we possibly can to hopefully expedite it so we can have — best-case scenario (have) Cliff back soon. That’s where it’s at.”
Asked if he feels better or worse about the situation since Saturday, Self said: “I would say maybe a little better, I mean me personally in how I feel. The obvious thing is let’s get to the bottom of it and get it resolved. I feel confident everybody wants to do that, so that right there is probably something that makes me feel a little better. It’s a case when I first found out I didn’t know if there was a priority, what the priority was or anything. But I think everybody is on the same page. (It’s an) important time of the year. We need to do what’s best for the young man and that’s get it resolved as quickly as possible.”
