Jordan's son to miss first two Illini games for rule violation

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- The NCAA says the oldest son of Michael Jordan will miss the first two games of the season for No. 23 Illinois after playing in an unsanctioned event last summer.

Illinois coach Bruce Weber says Jeff Jordan, a reserve guard, played in a three-on-three event.

Jordan wasn't part of the Illinois team at the time. The junior left the team at the end of last season but changed his mind and returned in October.

Weber called Jordan's playing in the event an innocent thing.

Jordan will miss the Fighting Illini's season opener against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville on Friday and Tuesday's contest with Northern Illinois.

Jordan wasn't part of the Illinois team at the time.

Punishing a guy for doing something that breaks the rules during a time when he is not (or shouldn't be) under the NCAA's jurisdiction is garbage. Now the NCAA can tell a kid what he or she can and can not do even when they aren't on a team?

That's a load

Okay, one son refuses to play wearing Addidas shoes, and now another has violated rules.  Great job of parenting, MJ!

What everyone needs to realize in these instances involving MJ's young pups is that the world must live by the golden rule- which is, in its simplest form, he who has the gold rules

Everyone knows that MJ RULES!     ...(more)
