Quinn Ellis cleared by NCAA after St. John's court win

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's nine-thirty Eastern, this is The Pile-On: Late, and tonight a few minutes after leaving a Queens courtroom, Rick Pitino got word that the NCAA ruled Quinn Ellis eligible for St. John's this season.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEligible. That is the word they use right before the paperwork starts, Vera, and the paperwork never stops.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a win! A playmaker walks out of court and straight into a season, and I say the whole building should get a trophy.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA trophy for the building. Fine. Let me finish, because first they win in a courtroom, and then every roster in America needs a judge.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorGloria gets it! Pitino is basically a lawyer in a very nice suit, and I would hire him to handle my parking tickets.

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd Ellis is the evidence, Vera, and the other players are the jury, and by March the whole season is a sentencing hearing.
