According to ESPN's Jake Trotter the Big 12 has voted not to give him an extra year of eligibility as a walk-on transfer. Good news for WVU!
OK's Baker Mayfield is Done in the Big 12
- Thread starter michaelwalkerbr
- Start date
It was reversed today....He'll have his extra year. No link....It's all over ESPIN.
He will be back. Weenies at Big 12-2=10 Presidents meeting jumped when Ok complained...the same way they are backing off expansion because Txs said no. Big Least V2. Ok and Txs couldn't care less about the other members of the conference as long as they control everything.

"Of course, Boren was in a much better frame of mind, at least partly because he learned Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield was awarded another year of eligibility, giving him this year and the 2017 season to play for OU.
Thanks to a wisely reconsidered re-vote on the controversial walk-on transfer rule, the league approved the ability of those athletes to change schools within the conference without forfeiture of a year of eligibility if they didn’t have an offer of financial aid “in written form” from its previous school."

He is that. And as a former walk-on he is still more talented than any QB to take a snap in a game at WVU since Geno Smith. Recruiting stars do not always hit the mark.
Last season Mayfield completed 269 of 395 passes for 3700 yds and 36 TDs against only 7 INTs with a 68.1% completion rate. I certainly hope you are right, but I would be shocked.
