Duke PG Paulus to play QB at ‘Cuse; WSU Coach Contract

Greg Paulus, who has been a three-year starter for the Duke University basketball team, has decided to attend Syracuse for his fourth and final year of NCAA sports eligibility. Paulus will play quarterback for the Orange football team. This is a weird situation, but it might work out well for everyone. You see, Paulus is set to graduate from Duke this year, even though he has only used three of his four years of eligibility. Paulus will enroll in graduate school at Syracuse and use his fourth year. Usually when a player transfers, he can’t play in his first season at his new school. However, he’s not transferring. He’s starting grad school. The NCAA should sign off on it. ‘Cuse needs a QB, and Paulus just wants to play some more. Apparently he was a pretty good QB in high school.

In other news, Washington State has just inked the deal for their new coach. Ken Boone, who replaces Tony Bennett, will get about $650,000 per year plus possible incentives. Boon takes over a strong program at WSU after successfully coaching Portland State to consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances.
