early word is Sims waiver has been approved
I appreciate the hate, but Clemson was nothing until 5 years ago either. VT with Vick and under Beamer became a powerhouse and a national brand, even if they didnt bring home the crystal ball. Pretty similar success to UGA during that time frame, actually.Yeah, but those schools have at least been good at football.
VPI is known for an empty trophy case and playing some ööööty Metallica.
Do you even football. Nobody outside of your moms basement has ever, ever confused VPI with a factory.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.
That’s something. Happy for Sims. But Jesus we needed Clayton bad. Still a net loss on the day.
It's official, we are officially a power school with the NCAA in our pocket!
I have no intimate knowledge of either situation....but this pretty much sums up my opinion on the matter. Sims' family raising a stink when his initial claim was denied definitely helped in my opinion. The NCAA doesn't want the bad national pub that his situation was starting to gain. Clayton and his family keeping quiet meant an easy denial for the NCAA.Apparently Sims parents' noise (and Jeremy Pruitt's) had a lot to do with him (and Solomon) getting their waivers. All reports are that Clayton had the strongest case but his family chose to keep it private. Squeaky wheel gets the grease with NCAA.
I'm not sure at what point the end is, but there is one. I think Clayton may have waited too late.I have no intimate knowledge of either situation....but this pretty much sums up my opinion on the matter.

Next question...can you appeal an appeal? Time to lawyer up...
Clayton's next step is likely to apply for an extra year because of injuries at UF.I'm not sure at what point the end is, but there is one. I think Clayton may have waited too late.
Ezzard's had already been denied last week.What's the word on Ezzard?
Yeah, and so did Sims, but he won his appealEzzard's had already been denied last week.
oh ****
Apparently it was already Ezzard's appeal that was denied last week. Either that or he got a hard no from the NCAA and didn't have a case for appeal.Yeah, and so did Sims, but he won his appeal
Played in 5 games before getting hurt In 2016. Played in 9 in 2017. RSed 2018. Got ööööed in 2019. I don’t see how theyre gonna give him a 6th year based off that 5-game frosh season.Clayton's next step is likely to apply for an extra year because of injuries at UF.
