When is his dissertation defense?

8 years is pretty ridiculous. There are places he could play if he still loved the game (obviously he’s talented enough), he doesn’t HAVE to be in college. They don’t really have the monopoly in the way these courts seem to think they do.

When I read the article, I thought about former GMU JUCO transfer Darren Tarver, who was the NJCAA D-I POY of 2000-01 as a sophomore at Wabash Valley College. Unlike Grant-Foster, Tarver could not get clearance from George Mason or another D-I school to continue his career after he had an Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator inserted in his chest following cardiac arrest in 2002.

After being out of school for several years, Tarver came back to play for D-II Arkansas Tech in 2007-08 before playing professionally in Kuwait - https://basketball.asia-basket.com/player/Darren-Tarver/145296
