it's funny as **** but damn, at least be consistent. According to the rules, he should get to play this year.

Both cases are nothing more than the NCAA deciding to deny a player a year just because they decided they wanted to make him sit out a year. It sucked for us last year and it sucks for UM now. I've got to admit, I'm a lot less pissed off about it this time though.

was that Masoli was suspended at Oregon, when he left. There in is the rub.

I was told that by a connected Reb, about a week ago.

the fact that he was suspended for his own transgressions. It seems like the ideal time to deny a request.

But to pretend like reading in exceptions to the exception on an ad hoc basis is a good thing is just silly. I don't mind you chuckling at our expense, but to defend the NCAA is retarded. You guys could be burnt by this next year.

Not being a prime money maker in a system that makes up rules as it goes is a dangerous thing.

Don't get me wrong, I see your point. But he was dismissed from Oregon. He transferred per the NCAA rule book. Why should he not play again? They should change the rule, not just apply it when they want to.

The NCAA's on consistency is their inconsistency in following their own rules.

I think the "rub" is the details of the NCAA signing off on the waiver ie the fact that they can do anything they want. If that's the case, then I give a big 17 you out to Houston and the rebel nation, and a big HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

its up the ncaa to decide on a case by case basis. Like I said, this seems like the perfect reason to deny a request.

Did you miss the entire Renardo Sidney episode last year? What about our current situation with Bost? We're no strangers to the whim of the NCAA.

I kinda like it honestly. The kid was obviously skirting the rules. They made RS sit out while they looked for something he did wrong.

Seems like if you piss the NCAA off, you gotta sit out. I'd rather them conduct things like that than have a system full of loop holes and no teeth.

You think his *** is going to stick around in Oxford when he'll be able to transfer to any school in the country next year? Only if a better offer doesn't come around.

It was my opinion, that he would get to play, or play after about three games or so, guess not.
They may get the appeal, and the NCAA may just be dragging their (as usual) feet.

Keeping him out of trouble for the next 12 months plus the 2011 football season? Not gonna happen. Too many women, laptops, alcohol, and herbs to be had.

This is still all just a sport. Nobody is really out anything, and I can't blame anyone for laughing at our misfortune.

It's just that some people don't appreciate that what's screwing MSU last basketball season is screwing Ole Miss right now, and may well screw either or both of us in just a few more months.

******** is ********, not matter who it impacts.

they wrote something that gives them a lot of room to maneuver:

"One of the factors our members have determined is appropriate for a
graduate student waiver is if the transfer is academically motivated.”

In this case, I'm assuming they found out/figured/determined that in this case the athlete was merely simply for somewhere to play.

It'sa pretty dangerous thing when the NCAA just does whatever the hell it wants to do, its own rules be damned. And that's exactly what they did with both Masoli and Sydney.

then that's pretty cut and dry because his transfer was the furthest thing from academically motivated.

I haven't read the rule, so I don't know, but I'm just saying......

i have had several friends who chose their MBA programs on the
best place to live, the best place to have a good time, or the best
sports program. yeah, they probably shouldn't have had that in mind but
it is their right to do so.

If he hadn't been kicked off Oregon's team, would he have transferred willingly to Ole Miss(foregoing his final year at Oregon) in the interest of earning a Parks and Rec degree?

I think we know the answer. He decided to transfer so he could play football. The NCAA has called him on it and is making him follow the rules that every other player who transfers for athletic reasons must follow.

But you're right, if the rule does say that, then it does seem to at least give the NCAA something to justify this decision.</p>

They figured, and it's pretty obvious, that he never would have tried to use the graduate waiver if he hadn't been kicked off the team at Oregon. In other words, transferring never crossed his mind until he couldn't play football. So, they're making him follow the same rules as some one who transfers for playing time, or not liking the coach, etc.
