"Sources informed the Michigan Insider this afternoon that Ole Miss filed its latest response with the NCAA yesterday. And while the initial objection was not rescinded, no additional objection was issued.

 

“They said (Patterson’s reply to the questions) didn’t ‘differ materially from the first submission,’ and because of that they had nothing additional to add,” said a source that has reviewed the Ole Miss letter. “They worded it in a way that could be interpreted as them maintaining their prior stance, but it definitely came across as a white flag of sorts. They said, ‘the University would not oppose immediate eligibility for Shea Patterson based on legitimate grounds.’ That they didn’t further argue the illegitimacy of Shea’s grounds by specifically addressing his response should be seen as a concession.”

 

Whether the NCAA sees it that way remains to be seen. There is still no word on a when a decision will be rendered."

 

So it's not official he can play.  But it's a good step towards it being so.

A dose of congeniality would do you some good. You are not just "a little rough around the edges". You are immediately defensive and impolite.  And it appears you are on the verge of being banned. The -100,000 would be a pretty clear indication of it. The fact that you haven't been banned yet shows the moderators are being patient.

Doesn't really sound like a white flag exactly. Just that they are finally not going to waste their time on it anymore. Regardless, good news.

MK, the Board as a whole has been visitied by a lot of new posters who are nothing but trolls, and not true Michigan Fans!  To use your own words, "If i keep getting treated like crap….Stop trying to start fights please.”, it may be helpful if you actually read some of your responses OBJECTIVELY and see how you may be coming across to people who you do not know.  No one asks you to blow sunshine up anyone’s behind, but maybe smoothen out the rough edges a tad – choice is yours.

Provide information that he's a "racist asshole". Seriously this is ridiculous. People on this board r so damn annoying w their word usage such as "racist". Grow up, that shouldn't be the first word that comes to your mind when u don't like someone.

Who cares what they think? I guess the kids and families that don't care about instituonal integrity and plan to sign LOIs. 2019 class highly rated. Gotta wonder who these people are and what do they stand for in terms of ideals.

He needs some fine tuning. I ant to see this young man come in and begin his career with no pressure on and get those mistakes out of the way when they're not costly. They'll all make them, but going forward if we get the QB play we should, they needn't be game deciders.

That’s great, but this has always been in the hands of the NCAA. Given the NCAA’s lack of consistency in making the right decision, Michigan is far from being out of the woods.
