This will be an interesting test of the NCAA stance on amateurism. J.R. Smith is going to college to get a degree and trying to play on the golf team. He has never used any university eligibility, but has definitely been compensated for his athletic performance.

J.R. Smith remains a loveable kook as long as he isn't playing for your team.

I hear that JR was admitted to the university’s Masters in Engineering Program with a specialty of pipe fitting.

Is that the one where the members drive under the influence and kill people? Or just where they eat a lot of pi?
