Now I've heard it all!!! Mack Brown is so full of ****

North Carolina UNC Tar Heels football coach mack Brown WR Tez Walker NCAA Charlie Baker appeal (rivals.com)

They are taking the mental health route according to this article BUT he (Brown) says that Walker is one of the best WR in the Nation and the NCAA should not deny him a chance at an NFL career.

This article makes me so mad...they use mental health as the issue for his eligibility. If this player has mental health issues, he needs to pack up and go home and get better!! Kind of funny how all these mental health issues will go away if he gets to play. Oh and then goes on to a NFL payday, he will somehow be cured of all his ailments.

Mack, the pregnant snake oil salesman.

The mental health issue was supposedly due to living apart from his family, notably his sick grandmother (who isn't too sick to attend football games, apparently). He's now living close to them, so I'm not sure how football should factor into his mental health.

what happens when one of the other nfl teams other than the panthers draft him?

The mental health issue is a temporary one that can be entirely fixed by him playing in that first game of the year.

Mental health is tricky.

The lesson here: When you're accepting a 3-time transfer, do your due diligence.

If you accept a borderline/questionable recruit, you can't COUN'T on the NCAA granting a waiver. Maybe you hope for it, but you can't throw tantrums when it doesn't go your way. Do your homework.

I bet he gets cleared before our game, that is usually how it works.

It'll be a last-minute waiver and they'll run a special segment on his "journey" during the game.

For North Carolina!

For North Carolina!

You think there would be dozens of articles being written and be a front page story for ESPN if it was a player for us?

I understand where Brown is coming from. Problem is, when you start making exceptions to the rule, you have opened up a huge can of worms.
I feel sorry for the kid and kinda respect Brown for fighting for him but rules are rules.

You would be opening up a can of worms if there was a governing body ensuring equitable application of the rules. If only there was such a governing body for college athletics ...

If the guy has mental health issues and you know it, get him help. Forget about football... it's just a game

well of course it affects his mental health. If you can't have what you want in today's world, your mental health is affected and you deserve it. I'm currently making a play for the powerball jackpot and feel that my ticket losing tonight will negatively affect my mental health so I should win.

Gameday has "breaking news" along with a 5 minute segment teed up for this.

Mental health is tricky.

Sometimes I struggle with staying away from snacks at night for my physical health. Then it's all I can think about. So I walk over to the freezer and grab an ice cream cone, or to the pantry for some chips. Instantly my mental health dilemma is gone. Hopefully playing in game one will help this young man. We all know you can't get to the NFL after four years of college unless you play that 5th year at UNC.

Tez as he was leaving NC Central (2 hours from grandma ) to play at Kent (7 hours from grandma)

we will win with him playing or not, so does it matter
