Yeah he can practice, but they still have not decided about playing in games, of course NCAA cant just go ahead and make a full decision.

I don't understand this. How much can there possibly be to review? It would seem like this decision should take a single person maybe 2-3 hours to make.

No doubt, somebody at the NCAA is doing a close frame-by-frame review of the Zapruder footage, playing it backwards and forwards over and over looking for some evidence that will help them in this determination.

It's interesting that the NCAA can clear up any confusion about practicing and granting a waiver pretty much right away, but they still can't come to a decision regarding eligibility to play until the very last minute after having months to figure it out...unless:

They already know he's eligible, they're going to grant it, but they want other kids in this position to know that if they apply for a 6th year, etc, it's going to be hell. If it was easy every kid out there would be putting in requests for extra years and cause a massive clog of paperwork at the NCAA. - That's the best theory I got at the moment.

^^This^^ If the NCAA were to deny him at this point, one would have to believe it would put them directly in the legal soup (via us and Faison).

Agree and at this point they would look like royal jackasses if they let him practice and then pulled his eligibility. Guess I wouldn't put it past them either.

I hadn't thought of it that way, but that makes a lot of sense. In a beurocratic sort of way.

Yeah. The waiver to practice is just a stall tactic by the NCAA indicating they still have not reached a decision on his eligibility. I go back to my question above: what could possibly be taking so long? Once they had all the paperwork, which was months ago, this should take a few hours for someone, one person, to review and make the call. It isn't complicated or complex. They aren't wrestling with a geopolitical decision. Shoot, I can get all the salient facts from reading one news article summarizing his situation. NCAA makes it seem like....

Said this somewhere else but my guess is they're making this kid go through hell, (Much like Vandy's QB from last year) to try to send a message to these guys wanting 6 and 7 years to play - If you're going to do this crap, we're going to make your life hell. We're going to make you sweat for your eligibility.

Why?? - Probably because they don't want to deal with the paperwork if they make opening the floodgates easy. So they're trying to temper that. NCAA wants their cake and to be able to eat it too.

Could be very true. I guess maybe they feel like they have to do it to avoid one legal case after another, at least they're going to drag their feet doing it.

On principle, I don't think he should be granted another year. I'm just tired of the out of control extending of college football careers. But I know every case is "unique".

He may need a few more classes in HRTA or African American studies to get is bachelor. Some people go to college for 7 years to get a degree. Tommy Boy quote in 5, 4
