I don't even know her but that was so 17ing stupid I had to respond.fishwater99 said:He's been cleared but he's not the starting QB. Stanley is our QB. Unless he is just awful or gets hurt Masoli is playing back up and special plays..
DerHntr said:so many of them, including Rome, were hell bent on saying that the NCAA had made the right decision the first time. are they now going to stick to that? i personally doubt it. Rome might stick with it but i wouldn't expect many of the rest of them to do so.

fixed it for you.Ole Miss bitched and whined b/c he was a "Rose Bowl" (how gay) QB, he got the national limelight b/c of it, hegot unmerited pity (and apparently a new soulmate in Chuck) b/c of it, and, ultimately, he got cleared b/c of it.OMlawdog said:You can't just ignore what you have done in the past based on the same rules. All jokes aside the NCAA is supposed to treat all student athletes the same, and they clearly didn't here. Masoli was punished CLEAREDbecause he was rose bowl QB and was on ESPN, and any argument to the contrary I think is flawed.
If they handled the Cooper decision poorly, their response should be to amend the rule so that if you are not in good standing with your team, you can't get the waiver. I would be fine with that.
They can't just treat two players differently because they want to, at the very least they shouldn't be able to. They may not like this result, but its their own doing. If they had a problem with players getting waivers that were suspended from their team, they would have done something about it. They didn't have a problem with it until a famous college player wanted to use the waiver, and treating a successful athlete different than a no name athlete simply isn't right.

Let's see who's spoiled:http://nafoom.yuku.com/sreply/251983MSUCosmo said:That is such ********. The initial decision was only "wrong" because it negatively impacted the Ole Miss University. What is embarrassing is to see UM fans and professionals alike bombarding Ronnie Ramos's twitter with juvenile banter and "free Masoli", as if he was part of the decision.
With the events of this week, there's not a more perfect example of a spoiled fanbase whining and bitching until they get their way.
Nice. First post and you don't even have the backbone to leave it up? Nice edit, Reb.
OMlawdog said:The reason the NCAA denied the waiver request in the first place is because he was a famous QB. If he was a backup OG from Idaho, he would have been cleared the first time.
The NCAA didn't like the way this looked. I can't blame them, it looks bad. They tried to find a way to keep him from playing, but their previous decisions did them in.

Actually that precedent was set by Kenneth Cooper over a year ago. The NCAA has simply followed this dangerous precedent that they set over a year ago.The NCAA has now set forth a more dangerous precedent- because now any "star" football player that gets kicked off of a team can now transfer and be eligible.
