Browns149 437 Report post Posted February 8 Was there any doubt? All these transfers going to a big time school will get the waiver http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25953943/ncaa-grants-waiver-allowing-qb-justin-fields-play-ohio-state-buckeyes-2019 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MLD Woody 799 Report post Posted February 9 I think players should be able to transfer whenever they want, just like coaches. Without anything else considered, I think Fields should be allowed to play at OSU. Of course that isn't the rule now. To call his case a "hardship" is ridiculous. Either follow the rule or don't have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the fact that people at his previous school were using racial slurs towards him is his case for hardship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How threateningly racist of an environment could it be if the mom lets her daughter enroll at the same school? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tate transferred. You don't need permission to transfer. Tate applied for immediate eligibility, and he hasn't heard back yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only real good part of sitting out a season (or maybe a half season?) is to prevent the possible chaos of "hired guns" hopping all over to get a better deal or play for a title shot. Could a player play for 2, 3 or 4 teams? Could happen. At least make college sports look amateur for awhile. They are students not free agents. Exceptions for real emergencies only.

It will look more and more like a pro football mini camp and not traditional college football. You still need some rules in society. GO TEAM! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
