Only Way To Celebrate: Gonzaga's Tyon Grant-Foster Won In Court To Play Hoops This Year, 90 Minutes Later Played In An Exhibition Game With His Legal Team In The Stands

A lot of moving parts here. Tyon Grant-Foster was denied eligibility by the NCAA, saying he used it all to which him/Gonzaga fought back saying he was dealing with medical issues which cost him years. Actually, Mark Few said he died, because he was having heart issues:

He started at Indian Hills Community College in 2018-19 and became one of the best JUCO names in the country before transferring to Kansas during the COVID season. The forward then transferred to DePaul in 2021-22, where a life-threatening heart condition sidelined him for two seasons. After recovering, he became one of college basketball’s best comeback stories at Grand Canyon, winning 2024 WAC POTY and leading the Antelopes to their first NCAA Tournament win.

Not shocking that the NCAA lost another battle in court. All they do is lose in court, but hey, don't worry, the government is going to fix college sports! Grant-Foster was in a weird scenario, he had the Pavia JuCo appeal, plus the heart issue. He played 21 games for Kansas, 1 for DePaul, then 34 and 25 for Grand Canyon. He played 1 game at DePaul because he collapsed at halftime of the first game. Not like he sat out for some dumb reason, he had a legit health problem.

So fast forward now to Gonzaga, he won his appeal and 90 minutes later checks right in

Even funnier is his legal team came to watch the game

Don't blame them. Gonzaga is going to awesome this year. They bring back Graham Ike and Braden Huff. They have a deep backcourt, they brought in big time transfers. There's a reason they are 8th on KenPom in the preseason. Now you throw in Tyon Grant-Foster and they are a Final Four type team. It's just another time in the NCAA world where if they get sued, they are going to lose. I'd be bringing that legal team to a bunch of home games, especially if you're Mark Few. They won in court, you get them some nice tickets. Maybe a better game than Western Oregon. 

It's starting to sneak up on me that the season actually starts in a week. I don't know if it's the televised exhibition games or what, but it just keeps throwing me off. I highly suggest watching early this year. It's a loaded year, the freshman class is unbelievable and there are probably a good 12 teams that are legit title contenders.
