Seems Mickey Mitchells eligibility ruling isn't the only one whom the NCAA is slow playing...

Tacko Fall, who is enrolled at Central Florida, stands very tall. The curious prospect stands at 7 foot-6. He's been an internet sensation over the past 18 months. But his story isn't so feel-good at the moment. Fall is on a list he'd rather not be part of at the moment: players still awaiting eligibility clearance from the NCAA. He's huddling with the ranks of Kansas five-star freshman Cheick Diallo among those still waiting on an OK to play from the monolith in Indianapolis.

This doesn't appear to be a typical eligibility case. (Though, when are they ever?) Fall's reported combined GPA for his junior and senior years at Florida-based Liberty Christian Preparatory School: 3.6. That soars past the bar. Yet Fall is still seeking clearance for an academic waiver. What's the holdup here?

Liberty Christian Prep, in fact. The NCAA has its doubts about the legitimacy of the instutition and doesn't consider it be certified. So now Fall is lawyering up in an effort to combat the NCAA's practices.
