Huskers got word yesterday that Vedral has been granted immediate eligibility and was flown to Evanston for today's game.
Noah Vedral eligible
- Thread starter kaz36_rivals189319
- Start date
WHAT?? Now that the season is about half over. Man, how do you manage this now?
I heard that he is starting over Martinez today so Martinez can redshirt and recover from his knee injury.

How is his eligibility set up in this case? does he still have 3 years after this year if he plays the rest of the year?
I am guessing when applying for the waiver, we used the argument that the transfer rule is unfair advantage to schools on the quarter system and left us in a bad spot and unfair that a player can transfer out and we can't transfer one in. In this case it's even worse because the kid is already here but ineligible.
How can that be an even playing field??
That's the angle I would take. The NCAA might have had good intentions but wound up with unintended consequences. Didn't think it through very well.
The NCAA got caught up on suspending players for buying extra erasers with left over scholarship book money.
So, it sounds like we still want to play him only 4 games down the stretch to maintain this year of eligibility and keep him for 3 full years after this. Is that the plan?
I think I would still try to not let him play in more than 4 and be able to redshirt. Obviously we're going to go with Martinez, I am saying don't play him unless we need him to win a game. Don't throw him in just for mop up duty.
Nice to have an actual emergency QB, has 4 games available and can still RS
Masker can go through with his true frosh redshirt now

How many quality reps does he have if he was projected to be ineligible the entire season. Was he running scout team all year?
Suspect he will be #3 emergency

Great news. Wish we had it in week 2. But great news anyways. Maybe we will be less hesitant to run Martinez?
I work in a government bureaucracy, and deal with other government bureaucracies, but none are as inept and slow as the NCAA in figuring $#@% out and making a decision. Unbelievable.
If Vedral was flown in?....WHO was flown out?
I have no idea what their justification was. Maybe some dude found his filing in a stack of paperwork on his desk and looked at it finally and thought, "Nebraska has been a dumpster fire this year, so maybe they could use a little good news and.........."
Well, it was a little bit our fault. We filed for the waiver after we found ourselves between a rock and a hard place when a Qb who shall remain nameless transferred. It took the NCAA 6 weeks. Long time but not that unexpected.

The NCAA sucks so bad in worrying about the best interest for the kid. How does something like this and Drew Ott’s case take so damn long?
I feel a bit better knowing that we have other emergency backups ahead of him now
I like him as a prospect, though, and think he could surprise some people down the road
My recollection is that we filed for his eligibility a while back, but then didn’t pursue it. The paperwork had already been filed, and so when Gebbia left, we renewed our efforts with the NCAA. But I could be wrong.
You could be right. I just remember at the beginning of August reading an article quoting Vedral saying they were not going to apply for a waiver=an appeal.
Then we have tranfer-gate and the waiver is applied for.
Geez, mods are watching my posts like 2 birds on a wire watch a dying man.

Don't really understand how the rule worked in this case, but best of luck to Vedral, Frost, and Nebraska.
Vedral didn't see much PT last year, but has the attributes Frost wants (mobile, quick release, makes good decisions). His arm strength is suspect, but again he didn't see much playing time.
