Dirtbags at Ole Miss keep Shea Patterson ruling in "standstill" mode
Bizarre if Ole Miss is really holding up the NCAA review on a technicality.

Correct
before saying "we have nothing to say".
Michigan football can't have nice things EVER. reality will always be less than the expectations. Get used to it and set those bars low for your own sanity.
more like NCAA bullshit.
Doesn't sound to me like it's dirtbags at Ole Miss, it sounds like it's dirtbags at the NCAA that haven't sent the necessary paperwork to Ole Miss yet.
If Ole Miss drags their response out to the deadline, then they will be dirtbags.
riiiiiiight around the last day of Michigan's spring practice.
Why wouldnt Shea be able to practice? He is enrolled at the University and like Charles Matthews or any other transfer he cant play but he can practice.
Or does it jsut mean it will come a bit later?

and each athlete would get paid the same regardless of performance
Technically they are - they're paid $0.
Well, sure, in theory. Practical application, not so much.
In application every college athlete winds up in a mass grave and then in 70 years someone in a coffee shop says "well real communist athletics has never been tried".
theory. But the soup would be cold and the bread would be rock hard.
In this scenario Michigan is in the gulag

Probably in a literal, Marxist interpretation. In reality, any athlete that spoke up wanting said power would end up in a goulag in Siberia or a "re-education" camp outside Phnom Penh...
In what communist country did the workers ever have the power? Or any power? Or even tolerable living conditions?
Yes..... the workers of the Soviet Union certainly were in charge and not the party.

You forgot to credit Brian Bosworth for that little slogan.
I dislike Ole Miss as much as the next guy but this delay sounds like it is entirely on the NCAA for not sending the official package over to Ole Miss for response.
Well it makes no difference. Mr. Patterson will practice this spring no matter what the NCAA does.
I get this take, but I don't think it's true. Michigan, Shea, everyone expects Shea to be eligible, so that's how they will practice. Everything will do forward as if they already know he is eligible.
The only thing it might, maybe, possibly affect is Shea's personal mindset and confidence...but he is such a competitor that I highly doubt he's even worried about not being eligible. He came here to take the job and win big and go pro, so he's going to practice like it.
Yeah, and...? Not to sound dick-ish, but that's kind of the point I was making. Shea is going to compete in the same way and have the same mindset as everyone else, regardless of whether he has an official word from the NCAA yet.
Sorry if I missed the /s (or #hardass) on this post, but how / why would he be able to pracitce without receiving NCAA approval?
Eligibility is only regarding ability to play in games. It has nothing to do with Shea's ability to practice, workout, go to class, etc, all of which he can do like anyone else on the team and enrolled at Michigan.
The whole point of this appeal is for him to get immediate eligibility, not to sit out a year as is typical. Or are you predicting that he will lose his appeal?
He's describing Shea's status before his waiver application is processed. When the waiver is granted the game ineligibility changes. Until then, Shea is a regular transfer who would have to sit out games, but could do everything else.
Cool...thanks! Totally makes sense...
Do you think this will land on Mars?
Ole Miss apparently hasn't filed a response, and their deadline to do so hasn't passed yet. I don't see any reason to read anything negative into that as far as Patterson's eligibility for the 2018 season. The only downside is that Michigan may not know whether to treat him as the No. 1 QB at the beginning of spring camp.
If only there was a poster here who forsaw something like this happening and warned everyone to pump the brakes on the Shea-train cause things NEVER go smoothly (or positively) whenever Michigan and the NCAA are concerned.
I mean if there was such a poster, someone older perhaps, who had witnessed Michigan getting fucked over time and time and time again by the B1G and the NCAA and could've cautioned everyone that if there was a way for the Shea eligibility to be stalled or even blocked the NCAA would find a way to do so.
One thing I know for sure. If there was such a person and he did warn everyone the very last thing in the world he should do is REMIND everyone of the warning cause there's only one thing this place hates more than somebody predicting bad news and that's if somebody reminds the board they predicted bad news and they were right.
