Hawaii center Douglas Kurtz must sit out the Rainbow Warriors’ first six games because he played three games in a professional league in his native Brazil in 2007.
Coach Bob Nash said on Wednesday that he decided against appealing the NCAA ruling so that Kurtz and the rest of the team won’t have to deal with the uncertainty of his status.
The 7-footer transferred to Hawaii from Marshalltown Community College in Iowa.
Hawaii opens its season Friday at its own Rainbow Classic against Southern Utah. Kurtz will be eligible to play for the Warriors against Lamar on Dec. 6.

By any standard, Chip Kelly’s rise to a national darling has been accomplished with racehorse speed. Just three years ago, he was the offensive coordinator at New Hampshire, not exactly a typical laboratory for high-tech football.
The Wildcats didn’t have a fullback one year, so he conjured up his version of the spread offense. That decision and the precision that Kelly attaches to his coaching landed him in the Pac-10 catbird’s seat.
Hired as offensive coordinator by Oregon coach Mike Bellotti in 2007, Kelly instantly created a vaunted, chain-moving option attack.
