Texas Tech: Texas Tech Center Gets Unusual Extra Eligibility



Texas Tech Center Gets Unusual Extra Eligibility: Texas Tech fifth-year senior Esmir Rizvic received another half-year of eligibility from the NCAA because he missed the second half of last season with a fractured face. The NCAA usually only grants an entire year of eligibility, not fractions. The association made an exception for Rizvic because of the severity and nature of the injury. Rizvic was injured in a game against Oklahoma in which Longar Longar elbowed Rizvic in the eye socket and was called for an intentional foul. Rizvic can play in either the first or second half of this coming season, and the team will likely choose the latter. [8/14/07]
