Today in NCAA stupidity: Caleb Swanigan hasn’t been cleared yet

As Kentucky fans, we’ve dealt with our fair share of NCAA stupidity, most recently waiting for Skal Labissiere to be cleared by the NCAA. On Friday, Yahoo reported that Skal has been cleared, but there are still some players out there that haven’t, including one-time UK recruit Caleb Swanigan, a freshman at Purdue.

You may remember Swanigan’s story. In 2011, Swanigan was a 6’2″ 360 lbs. 14-year-old living in a homeless shelter in Salt Lake City. His father was a crack cocaine addict, his mother was out of a job, and all of his siblings had dropped out of high school.
