NCAA denies waivers for Clayton, Ezzard; Sims granted immediate eligibility

Put him in a walk on jersey and play him. Screw the NCAA

Civil disobedience has a long and hallowed history in this country. I wonder if any aggrieved school ever disobeyed a waiver denial and played a player anyway. For example, what if Tech ignored the NCAA’s ruling and played Clayton in the Tech-Clemson game after the game was already decided? Suppose that Clemson was up 49 to 7 to start the 4th quarter and Clayton entered the game. If the sanctions were limited only to a “forfeit” of any game in which an ineligible player plays, so what? It would provide an exceptional platform to give national exposure to the arbitrary actions of the NCAA. It’s a nice day to daydream...

We would get the death penalty.

The NCAA should allow players that transfer and don't qualify for a waiver, be allowed to play 4 regular season games similar to the rule that allows red-shirt freshmen that opportunity.

Did the N(azi)CAA offer any reason for denying the appeal?

Sims has been granted immediate eligibility.

There are also athletes at big name schools who were denied waivers.

I'd like to see this list.

Probably have to do an open records request, but I'm not sure if that can be done with the NCAA since they are not a government organization.

So I guess the precedent is - if you’re transferring from Michigan you get the request, but only on appeal? I’m happy for Sims, but this seems odd. Did the Harbaugh douche factor result in an across the board grant on appeal for ex-Wolverines?

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

Well, that's obviously great news, but why not Clayton also? Makes no sense.

I think Michigan's shenanigans were a factor in the appeal for sure.

Sadly the NCAA is almighty and doesn't have to explain itself

Clayton’s denial is criminal. Very happy for Miles Sims. Clayton has been totally screwed. He should have went to the media like Sims’ parents did. Instead he did the noble thing and took the high road on their initial denial and they railroaded him anyways.

I’ve said it and I’ll say it again. The NCAA approved big band kids to big name factories and throws in a few small programs (because they are irrelevant anyways) and screws over everyone in the middle.

Ha. This is all Harbaugh related. Glad to have Sims but need Clayton and Ezzard more.

WAY TO GO,MYLES!

One guy was actually moving a great distance closer to home, the other not so much. Just a thought
