Ole Miss is going to blow hard this year now. Pencil them in for last in the West. They deserve it for trying to bring in such a thug.

He said he will limit his college search to schools where he believes he can play immediately. The NCAA allows him just one year of college football eligibility. And if he returns to football, he said, he wants to play quarterback.

"When looking at schools, a chance to compete for the starting job is important," Paulus said. "With me only having an opportunity to play for one year, I think that the chance and the opportunity to compete and to compete at a high level is important. There is an opportunity to do that at Michigan. And that was one of the reasons I wanted to go up there and visit and learn all about it."

Paulus didn't even try to hide the fact that he was transferring specifically to get a shot at starting QB. So, other than the two misdemeanor convictions, how is this case any different?

I could give two shits about Ole Miss. However, I can't see how any fan in the SEC can be excited about this. The NCAA re-interpreting their own rules as they see fit to dole out punishment they deem necessary is not beneficial to ANY OF US.

I love how hogtards of your ilk spin everything negatively towards OM because of our head coach and nothing else. HDN is gone and you wanted it that way, so just go play in the mud and :jimp: over Bobby "13-12" Petrino
Wow, so defensive. I didn't even mention HDN and you go spouting off about him. I almost never post about him and intentionally steer away from threads about him.

If you're tired of hearing all the bullshite that other Hog fans stir up then you might not want to instigate the ones who are over it.

You're the one who called the whole thing a "ploy" when it clearly isn't. You're the one calling us butthurt, whereas we have every right to be.

What is your reason for your flame towards OM?

I can't wait to hear your well-thought out answer

The guy doesn't deserve to play this year. The NCAA stated its policy on graduate student transfers back in 2009 (it's been posted several times already), which is that the rule is for players who are transferring for academically-motivated reasons. It is obvious to everyone that Masoli would never have transferred to OM if he hasn't been suspended from Oregon. You can go ahead and throw up that smoke screen if you want, but really, who are you kidding?

This is a really transparent attempt to let a repeat criminal continue playing DI football, even though he has done more than enough to forfeit that privilege. Ole Miss and Masoli put themselves in this tenuous position and have no one to blame but themselves.

5th year seniors with only one year to play one. masoli has two years to play one.

as i understand it, the ncaa wants masoli to sit out a year because his transfer was athletically motivated, and he has two years of eligibility. same as how mallett had to sit out at AR after transferring from MI.

I know you may say 'well, masoli is in a one year grad program.' that may be true, but the NCAA sees through that ruse and thinks he should be held to the sit-a-year transfer rule because his eligibility allows it.

No the NCAA's decision was for him to sit out this year because he was going to sit out this year at Oregon. (see the part about him transferiing to avoid disciplenary action). This is totally contradict in the case where the bball player was booted from LaTech yet transfered to UAB under the same rule and was declared immediately eligible

but again, that bball player had only one year of eligibility left. masoli has two years left. you asked for a difference, i think that's a pretty clear one.


you gotta realize the NCAA's choice in this matter will be subjective by nature. there is an application process, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. the rule is written that way, they're not going around the rule. cry 'PRECEDENT' all you want, but find me precedent for allowing the waiver of a FBS player who committed a felony, was booted from his team, and immediately played the next year elsewhere despite having two years of eligibility left.

What kills me is all you Ole Miss fans running around looking up past cases for precedent and trying to apply logic to the NCAA and its internal workings. Open up your eyes. These guys are one step above the freakin Russian Mob. They don't care about anyone or anything. They make this crap up as they go, and they aren't accountable to anyone. You guys just happen to be their latest target. That is not a place you want to linger in.

As for a potential lawsuit, Ole Miss better leave that alone. Hell, the NCAA publicly threatened Memphis with more sanctions for just going through the established appeals process on their case. If Ole Miss tries to do an end around on the man, they will get wacked in the end. The NCAA will dig up or make up something. It will be bad, too. They just need to move on. It isn't fair. Nothing with the NCAA is. But it is what it is, and that's all there is.

The problem isn't with the NCAA. The problem exists because there was not enough experience or depth at quarterback. With prior knowledge of not having Snead, potential injuries, and players leaving, why did this happen? Can someone tell me why in the friggin hell didn't someone bring in an experienced juco QB (or perhaps five with the class of 37) before something like this occurred? I'm talking about someone who can play. I'm not talking about the type that needs last minute business with the business that's "in the business of helping people" either. I'm talking about zero extra baggage.

and you know these same ole miss fans crying about it were the same people that more than likely bashed miles for the zach lee situation and not having a backup plan

Whats funny is that the appeal is going to get denied too, Masoli will dropout, and then Nutt will look like a fool again.

What a great way to start the season.

Not that I can recall... in all seriousness, LSU isn't really brought up that much on the SEC Rant.

I doubt Miles would've let Garrett go in hindsight strictly for depth purposes, but if he wasn't good enough to play, then so be it.
