Around the Internets: Enes Kanter reaction

BlueBaron · Sep 8, 2010

Every once in a while, a story inspires interesting takes from throughout the college hoops Internets. Last night's Enes Kanter news, based on this report from the New York Times, is one such story. Here's a quick roundup of some of the better takes out there. As always, if you want to send me your own, hit me on Twitter. (Disclaimer: Just because an opinion is linked here doesn't mean I necessarily agree with it, so don't get mad at me. Cool? Cool.)

From ESPNEWS reports and Andy Katz: Sandy Bell, Kentucky's associate athletic director in charge of compliance, and a representative of the NCAA's amateurism department may need to go to Istanbul and meet with [Nedim] Karakas if Kanter is to gain eligibility for this season, the compliance officer told Katz. According to the compliance officer, the burden of proof is on Kentucky to prove Kanter received only actual and necessary expenses after Kanter signed with the Wildcats over Washington last year. Those expenses can be food, travel expenses for practices and competition as well as housing. Where this can get dicey is that Kanter was only 14 at the time he started with the club team, and housing for his family may have to have been included. The NCAA could determine that his family getting rent paid for by a club team could be viewed as him using his skill to gain an advantage for his family.
