The habit gets a new name.
Tulsa National’s disqualification is not the first time the team has been involved in an eligibility scandal. The team’s softball program was also disqualified from the Southwest Regional tournament earlier this year. The team’s actions have created an unfair advantage for some teams and a disadvantage for others. The temporary restraining order that allowed Tulsa National to play in the Southwest Regional Championship has added to the chaos. The situation is a mess, and it’s hard to keep track of what’s going on. The only thing that’s clear is that Tulsa National’s actions have caused a lot of problems.
Eligibility scandals are the new norm.
