Well, technically the only 5* at Florida is Cox so his transfer back to UGA would cause a stir...

"Unless there’s some well-kept secret that would qualify him for a waiver, I’d say chances of Brenton Cox getting a waiver are approximately zero,” Mars said Tuesday.
Mars would know. His success rate representing athletes in cases opposing the NCAA’s transfer restrictions – including former Georgia quarterback Justin Fields -- led the NCAA to ask Mars to join its enforcement staff as part of the specially-formed Complex Case Unit.

Another hurdle Florida will have a hard time clearing is the SEC’s intraconference transfer requirements. Moving from one conference institution to another another requires a second waiver from SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey.
The league last year adopted two exceptions that allow immediate eligibility: One, is for the player to have graduated with a degree, the other is if the school the student-athlete is leaving is being sanctioned for major NCAA violations. Neither of those exceptions apply here.
Mars is now seeing the transfer-waiver process from the NCAA’s side of the fence. He believes the coaches’ flippant mentality about testing the rules is creating a glut in the system.
“When head coaches start thinking that way and figure, ‘why not file for one and see what happens?’ they put undue pressure on their compliance staff to file what’s essentially a meritless waiver request,” Mars said. “That adds to the backlog in Indianapolis, which is what eventually led to the Legislative Council raising the bar.”
——————————
Don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see Cox doesn’t qualify for the second waiver — Sankey’s intraconference transfer waiver. Add to that Mars’ comment about Mullen being a fricking idiot & Cox can watch the WLOCP from the sideline.
He and Tate can stand together during the Miami-UF game. Peas in the I’m-entitled-to-start-or-I-transfer pod.

100% what this one for Cox is. But when there is a double-standard and everyone is unclear of the qualifications to get one granted, it's no wonder why this has happened.

Mullen’s mouth continues to cash checks too early.
