öööö the NCAA.

This makes cheering for college sports really really hard. Seriously, why is Tech even trying to compete?

öööööööööööö lives in bumb öööö south Georgia and gets to immediately play at a school hundreds of miles away.
We need to talk to this kid and understand what he said to the NCAA. We say that Harbaugh crapped on Myles Sims' transfer chance, but this 5-star also transferred out of Michigan and it's all good. There must be some magic buttons you have to push in the waiver application, which may or may not include legal threats. We need to play the game better.

Of course it may be a very simple explanation, such as his family now lives in East Tennessee. Who knows?

If you transfer to the top schools according to the NCAA in the SEC, Big 10 or ACC. plus ND you are eligible immediately. If you transfer to any other school, you lose a year. This is the actual rule.

From the article:

" To date, at least six undergraduate players have transferred from Michigan and only linebacker Drew Singleton had been granted immediate eligibility at Rutgers."

Rutgers really came out of nowhere as a "top school".

Could it be that most cases are denied except for those that can actually prove extenuating circumstances? Let's not kid ourselves and pretend that most of these kids are transferring for any reason other than playing time or regretting their college choice. The NCAA sees through the ruse most of the time.

I'd have loved to have our transfers work out with immediate eligibility, but the defeatist conspiracy shtick gets old.

Explain how these transfers were not based on playing time.

This kid gets slammed based on the arbitrary distance and timeline guidelines. And oh - his mother wasn't, like, dying bad enough.

Already discussed at length earlier in the thread. These were specific grievances against the schools with lawyers involved. NCAA tucked tail. Different issue than the generic homesick kid (always low on the depth chart) with a sick granny claim.

He should get a waiver imo, but isnt this evidence that it's not a case of big power schools (VT ) getting their way while poor old GT always gets screwed? I count that as evidence that the NCAAs admittedly stupid rules get applied pretty consistently to all schools.

VT is not a big power school or a big money maker for the NCAA.

You guys will have to better describe your qualifications for who is "big and powerful" enough to get waivers pushed through. Again, Rutgers?? VT has had as many prime-time national spotlight games as anyone the past 20 years and will surely be touted by this board as a corrupt football factory as bad as anyone in the ACC anytime they beat us.
