An NJCAA school in East Tennessee must forfeit its last game due to the use of an ineligible player. I’m not sure which is more troubling, that a JuCo has eligibility rules, or that the player in question is 73 years old.
Ken Mink has been on the Roane State Community College team for just this one season, but his career spans over a half-century when he was kicked off the Lees Junior College team in 1956 for (allegedly) shaving-creaming the coach’s office.
The latest bout of controversy is due to a failing grade in Spanish and the attempt to make up the credits at online Strayer University. But alas, his exploits were revealed, and thus endeth his dream of trading sweat with young African-American males everyday at 3pm.
Just goes to show you, once a trouble-maker, always a trouble-maker.
By the way, did anyone know JuCo’s had academic review boards?

I heard he was sneaking over the border to Canada to buy prescription drugs, too.

I knew this whole thing was way too good to be true.
