It's starting. I guess now there are no limitations on athletes wanting to transfer.
Time for college football to either accept this, or recognize what they really are.
Did anyone allegedly call him a white supremacist while at OSU?Tate Martell going to throw a tantrum if he’s not eligible at Miami
If they want to claim to be academic institutions that just happen to have intercollegiate matchups, andand wh the well being of the student is the most important thing, then they probably need to accept that transfers with immediate eligibility are probably OK.Not sure what you mean here.
Maybe true, but is a crap decision . They opened Pandora’s box.Yeah, I think this is somewhat of a one off scenario. NCAA wanted no part of dealing with the racism stuff. Al Sharpton started talking about it already. No way the NCAA wanted to deal with backlash if they forced him to sit out a year.

If they want to be a semi-professional D-League for American Football and the other revenue sports (which is what they really are, imo), then competitive balance needs to be factored in and restrictions on transfers should be part of that...but that has other implications too, especially on player compensation.

Not arguing your point, but a lawyer can argue racism whether or not it occurred and use JF’s case as the precedent for immediate eligibility. I truly hope you’re right in your premise.Maybe they have. Maybe they haven't. However the NCAA did not want the following headline in papers across the country: "NCAA denies eligibility to student who experienced racism at previous school"
Not really the hill they feel they need to die on.
Prove to me someone didn’t call him that. That’s the card I would play. NCAA can’t prove it didn’t happenDid anyone allegedly call him a white supremacist while at OSU?
Which is pretty funny to me. He seems to lack intelligence.Tate Martell going to throw a tantrum if he’s not eligible at Miami
What a disaster. And Martell should certainly be allowed to play immediately.
They should probably just open it up for immediate playing time for everyone. Set-up a time (January 15 - Jan 31) for college free agency and have at it. Every year you know that 5-10 guys will probably transfer off each team.
