Ole Miss Fighting Transfers
I thought I would throw this out there before April Fools Day. That way there is no confusion. Ole Miss will be fighting the "immediate eligibility" of those that are requesting transfers. Yes, that means Shea Patterson. Let's just say Ole Miss came out firing with their rebuttal to the NCAA. They are not going to admit any wrong doing or grant approvals for the players in question.
Michigan could have been more aggressive and used more documentation that was made available to them from Shea's attorney. Furthermore, Michigan may submit additional documentation if they can (not guaranteed). They are going to need it. Shea's attorney is far less optimistic than he was a week ago. Hence the statement, he is referring all future inquiries to Michigan's David Ablauf. For the first time in weeks, I am starting to think this going to be a 50/50 decision at best.
Attorney's advising Michigan are adamant that they miscalculated the Ole Miss response. Brace yourselves for the worst and pray for the best. We know what the right thing to do is, but we are now dealing with a corrupt instituition (Mississippi) and an organization (NCAA) with a less than stellar track record in making the right decisions!
I live in the South
Hey NCAA and Ole Miss
Yes..I just don't see how UM would give those dumb fucks any breathing room. Why leave anything out at all. Why assume OM would do the sensible thing when they've shown zero sense whatsoever.
Just don't get it..with all that is riding on this decision how could UM be caught by surprise? Maybe UM is just pretending to be surprised to build up the drama...which, of course, is silly but not quite as silly as assuming OM would do the right thing.
WHAT THE FUCK. The whole state of Mississippi can GTFO of the US
response....
Karma needs to bite those bastards on the ass and have them lose out on every top contested recruit from now until doomsday.
That's it. Time to invade Oxford and burn that football program to the ground.
WHO"S WITH ME?!
/Crickets chirping
OK - this invasion can wait until after the hoops game tonight.
LOL... no one expected OleMiss to do the right thing did they?
Cheated their way into winning when they couldn't compete at an honest level, zero surprise they would continue to do things the wrong way and screw over their former players in order to protect themselves.
Stay Classy OleMiss... Hope NCAA has the balls to put the death penalty to your program
Of course Mississippi does what is worst for the kids just like the satellite camps. I hope their program gets nuked by the NCAA - oh wait, they have SEC immunity.
On the plus side, wasn't the NCAA considering changing the transfer rules to make it immediate eligbility when a coach is fired or NCAA sanctions?
It seems as if the NCAA should lean in Shea's favor if they truly want that rule established.
wasn't this presented a 'bulletproof' case and had hundreds of pages of documentation? Why the fuck did he not include EVERYTHING?
This fucking attorney is an idiot. Doesn't submit the paperwork to the NCAA, sends it to Ole Miss, who doesn't do shit, which causes a delay of nearly two weeks, and then doesn't fucking submit everything.
Holy shit, WHAT THE FUCK.
I think you may have your timeline and order of events confused somewhat. MICHIGAN submitted the application to the NCAA on February 26, according to the Detroit News. Michigan's athletic department, including its Chief Compliance Officer, worked with Shea's attorney in constructing the application. From reports, I recall the the NCAA delayed in sending the packet to Ole Miss.
Maybe they wanted to have more files in the arsenal to serve as a rebuttal to Ole Miss's shittyness. After all, the NCAA is full of idiots and wouldn't have read everything anyway
It is infuriating that an SEC program can be blatantly caught cheating, and then pull some shit like this and try to block the kids from creating a solid opportunity for themselves.
Imagine the media fire storm if Jim Harbaugh was caught on the phone with call girls, paying players and their families, and arranging all this illegal shit, and then Michigan trys blocking all of the transfers opportunity to go make something of themselves at another school. The media would still be trying to burn Jim and Michigan to the ground....but since its the SEC, media and NCAA silence..nothing to see here!
Its called "The Dirty South" for a reason.
A whole different standard applies to what is expected down there..this really isn't news..its just another day in the dirty south. And as crazy as it seems, I'm not sure recruits will give a shit either. At least not those from that neck of the woods. That is, as long as the boosters keep cutting the checks (I doubt that's going to stop...they'll just find another way...maybe borrow Kirby Smarts playbook or something).
in the past, and now they'll be known for being dicks to their players out of spite.
Good luck with that.
Is the state of mississippi even worthed? Worst in many categories. They are a leech than any actual contribution to USA. Like their football program. Ole Miss now becomes the most hated program in my book; more than OSU/Alabama etc. They cheat and then blatantly are denying doing this while further screwing student athletes. Bravo inbred sh!ts.
Also, I never really followed this Shea thing, because its the NCAA people. Also Submarine. Just wait till ND game to know who the QB is gonna be. I don't think we'll know anything. Not worth the stress. It would be nice to get Shea starting but lets work through camps as a TEAM. Go blue!
and the SEC are DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY
We've been on their RB commit Jerrion Ealy very hard for a long time. He's also a top 10 prospect in baseball, so it'd be really cool if he came here and played both (but also as a RB, if I were his dad I'd be telling him to go right to the MLB).
They get a chance to defend themselves and their interpretation of the NCAA rules. That's why the case will be reviewed and a ruling applied. The NCAA legislative committee has a task in front of them.
