Tulsa 2013 news

No 6th year for Burnham
Nearly two weeks ago Tulsa announced that the NCAA had denied Bryan Burnham‘s bid for a sixth season of eligibility but would be filing an appeal on that decision.

Unfortunately, the second answer was the same as the first.

In a press release, Tulsa announced it had been informed today that Burnham has been denied a sixth season of eligibility by the NCAA Division I Appeals Committee. Burnham missed all of his true freshman season in 2008 with what was described as an illness, then missed all but one game in 2012 due to a torn ACL.
