Henderson State given ineligibility ruling on Kimble
by Jim Barrios Mer Sall Henderson State freshman center Milton Kimble was ruled eligible then ineligible by the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference. The decision followed a dispute over his enrollment and letter of intent with Southern State College. The AIC cleared Kimble in the fall of 1975 after overturning an earlier ruling by commissioner Leroy Nix. The May ruling preserved Henderson State from forfeitures and upheld the faculty representatives’ view that a student must enroll for two semesters before varsity eligibility.
