I for one did not know of this NCAA rule. Sharing for others like me.

Gelon was going to be allowed to stay at Indiana for his education because of the Indiana University Student-Athlete Bill of Rights, which says an athlete can't be cut loose from their educational money just because of poor performance. The NCAA also passed a rule for men's basketball that applied directly to the IU situation. If a new coach comes in and wants to discard a player, the student's educational money can't be taken away.
