Clearinghouse has had ample time to dig around and make a ruling. I'm not arguing for the eligibility or non-eligibility of the remaining two players.
I'm arguing for a ruling.
In the weeks leading up to tax day on April 1, places like H&R Block hire hundreds of part-time employees to lighten the heavy load pushed upon them in tax season. It makes sense. I'm no math major, but the number of incoming freshmen this time of year — in every sport, not just football and basketball — is a pretty significant number. And if I'm not mistaken, most high schools graduate around the same time of the year. Why not hire a truckload of extra help in the summer so guys like Justin Hunter and the Kansas duo can get an answer before they turn 30?
Maybe H&R Block can show the Clearinghouse how to handle a rush. They deal with the IRS; it can't be much worse.

What's happened thus far in 2011 does not bode well for the jayhawks.
Kansas defensive coordinator Vic Shealy said that, although he doesn't have the same running capabilities, Red Raiders' quarterback junior
So when the Jayhawks take the field Saturday against Texas Tech, the odds will be against them to break the four-game losing skid. To overcome those odds, they'll have to have a defensive game plan that has not yet been seen in the previous matchups against the Red Raiders.

"You've got to be able to pressure the quarterback to get him out of rhythm," Shealy said. "In three ball games, they've had 21 passes for over 20 yards. You've got to limit that big play, and no one's done it. Hopefully we can do it."
