Once-homeless Baylor player ineligible after accepting a place to live

Walk-on Silas Nacita scored three touchdowns and made Academic All-Big 12 last season while sleeping on apartment floors and studying cell phone pictures of textbook pages.
A Sports Illustrated profile by Ken Rodriguez during the season told Nacita's story. Despite living on couches as a senior at Bakersfield High School, he earned a 4.1 GPA and a scholarship playing football at Cornell. The running back had tried to enroll at Baylor in summer 2013, but was refused admittance when he was unable to get a loan. He enrolled at McLennan Community College instead, waiting tables and saving up his money.
Nacita walked on at Baylor in June, homeless and hungry, sleeping on friends' floors and taking pictures of book pages from the campus store to study on his phone. He still made Academic All-Big 12.
As a sophomore last season, Nacita ran 31 times for 191 yards with three touchdowns and also recorded nine tackles.
How NCAA rules should impact homeless players has become more and more of an issue in recent years.
Nacita released his own statement on Twitter.

I don't understand how receiving benefits applies to him when he's a fukking walk-on. He don't receive the benefits of an athletic scholarship like the players on scholly.
NCAA is so fukking retarded. Can the power 5 go ahead and break away from this slave master ass organization.
