The NCAA Finally Got Something Right

It was reported yesterday that the NCAA had granted North Carolina Tarheel Fullback Devon Ramsay a sixth year of eligibility. He was forced to sit out the last 9 games of the 2010 season due to the NCAA's investigation into North Carolina's football program. Their original decision ruled him as permanently ineligible due to academic fraud but they later reversed that ruling and he was allowed to return to the football team.

He was injured in the first game of the 2011 season against James Madison that caused him to miss the rest of what was then his senior season. The NCAA arbitrarily ruled against him in 2010 and this by no means rights the wrong of the NCAA but it does give Devon Ramsay a chance to finish his career on the field.

I do not know how important the Fullback is to new North Carolina Tarheels' Head Coach Larry Fedora's offense but that is irrelevant. He will be allowed to play and finish out his career.
