Jeremiah Masoli's waiver for 2010 eligibility denied

[NAHSTE]

LOL Miss...Looks like Masoli won't be able to play after all. Of course they'll appeal, but good fucking luck considering the typical stubbornness of the NCAA.

Here's my favorite quote:

"I'm just shocked and disappointed," Masoli said. "I've done everything I can to follow the rules."

Everything except for you know, obeying the law.

Talk about backfire!...lol

 

[SuperKevin]

Ha. Now he's stuck in Oxford, Mississippi of all places

 

[Maize]

So much irony in him saying he followed all of the rules. Well, I guess there is a first time for everything.

 

[1ke]

Ha. Now he's stuck in Oxford, Mississippi of all places

Lol...for real, everyone knows that there are no extra laptops to steal in Oxford.

 

[Fox1994]

Good. lol. F that guy. Haha. Who do you guys think'll be the Oregon QB this year? And the Miss QB?

Didn't Thomas get the starting job over Costa at Oregon already?

Houston Nutt practically became a shareholder in Kleenex brand products when he got his mitts on Masoli.

Now he has to crawl back to his bum QBs and look forward to Masoli deteriorating for a season.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Well at least he has that Parks & Rec degree to fall back on.

:jonesy:

That's a lot of laptops.

How does this affect Greg Paulus though? Didn't he basically do the same thing?

In a press release, the NCAA said Masoli's request violated the intent of the waiver: "The waiver exists to provide relief to student-athletes who transfer for academic reasons to pursue graduate studies, not to avoid disciplinary measures at the previous university."

 

[NAHSTE]

Yeah, based on that, his appeal has no shot. Should've gone to JUCO or just sat out the season, that way he could play wherever he wanted next year.

Looks like he's pretty much stuck at Ole Miss now.

Yeah, he was trying to be slick by claiming that Ole Miss was offering a graduate degree that Oregon wasn't offering. I guess technically he is right, but I guess the NCAA didn't like him exploiting the rule.

Yeah, it's a rule designed for guys who are actually in school for more than just sports, and clearly he was just exploiting a loophole. He would have never considered a transfer had he not gotten caught stealing shit. He'll lose the appeal, as well he should.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

So, the NCAA doesn't believe Masoli wants to pursue that degree in Parks and Recreation?

What a bunch of hardasses!

Dozens of players at the 1A level exploit this every year.

Denying Masoli, but allowing (for example) Kirby Freeman to transfer free of charge is why the NCAA is a joke.

If you are going to allow some players to transfer despite impure reasons for said transfer, you should let everyone.

 

[SuperKevin]

I don't remember. Was Freeman facing discplinary actions?

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

I don't remember. Was Freeman facing discplinary actions?

No. He lost his starting job and he wanted to transfer. Went to his dad's buddy's school (Art Briles, coach of Baylor) and got to play immediately (lost his job there, too, but that is irrelevant).

Fact is, the NCAA isn't in any way, shape, or form consistent with their regulations and everything is very subjective and is determined by whatever board member gets whatever random piece of paper.

Easy fix. Once you get your degree from an institution, and still have time remaining on your eligibility, you can transfer to whomever you want, as long as the school is willing to release you of your scholarship.

As is, that is basically what goes on, but the NCAA is subjective in its decision making.

 

[SuperKevin]

But the NCAA's issue with Masoli is that he ran away from a school's disciplanary action
