For the Gator haters, here is a news bulletin: First of all Van Jefferson was going to be released by the NCAA because of the fricking cheating and probation being meted out, a kid shouldn't have to suffer because of what his HC did.


Secondly, Grimes applied to transfer to UF because of a sick family member in Fla where he was from. The NCAA allows that, again, he should be closer to his family with those circumstances rather than keeping him in Ohio.


Haters have to come up with something else to throw out. Dumbasses.

See my comments above. Extenuating circumstances should be considered. Demetris Robertson in similar boat where it sounds like his mom is severely ill and being treated in Atlanta. As of yet, haven't heard whether he will be eligible immediately.

That isn't a good reason. You are basically saying that no punishment should ever be given because it punishes those left who weren't involved.

If I read up on the specific van jefferson claim for immediate eligibility, he was lied to during his commitment. And the reason why he should be able to play right away is because of that false pretense.

It isn't because punishment aflicts the innocent (if that were a legitimate claim, no university football program could ever be punished because innocent kids will always be on the sidelines)
