Eleventh-ranked Yavapai College replaced disqualified Pima College in the NJCAA menβs West District soccer playoffs Friday. The Roughriders were eliminated 3-1 by No. 16 Trinidad State College. As the game was being played, Pima athletic directorΒ Edgar SotoΒ was notified that the NJCAA had agreed to listen to the Aztecsβ appeal. What an after-the-fact joke. It cost PCC $250 just to file the appeal even though Phoenix College officials admitted it was responsible for all punches thrown after the Oct. 29 region championship game. The NJCAA told Pima that it could take up to 10 days to review the appeal. The only tangible effect of a positive appeal is that 15 returning PCC players wouldnβt be suspended for the first two games of the 2017 season.Β
Pima College wins NJCAA appeal, but it's too late to matter
