re: Has Brandon Hill flipped?

**We spoke to the Ole Miss compliance department to get the exact wording of the new SEC rule that concerns Brandon Hill.

We have typed out the all of the rules that deal with this issue:


The terms and conditions of the athletic grant-in-aid are as follows:
1. Signing and accepting this award, this student confirms that he or she has not signed a grant aid agreement with any other SEC university.

2. A SEC athletic conference grant-in-aid agreement may not be signed by a student or parent(s) prior to the applicable national letter of intent initial signing date for the sport indicated above.

3. If this agreement is issued prior to the NLI initial signing date the date of issuance shall be the first date of the NLI signing period.

4. If the student or parents fail to sign this agreement within 14 days of issuance it will be invalid. In that event another agreement may be issued.

5. Recruiting activity by all SEC universities not included in this agreement shall be cease upon the agreement being signed by the student and the student’s parent or legal guardian.

6. The total amount of financial aid received shall comply from the provisions of the NCAA bylaw 15.1. Acceptance of financial aid exceeding NCAA limitations may result in a student being ineligible for athletics competition.

7. NCAA bylaw 15.3.4 shall govern reduction or cancellation of this grant in aid during the period of the award.

8. In accordance with NCAA bylaws 15.3.5 an institution shall notify a student regarding the status of this grant in aid.

9. The receipt of this grant in aid is subject to the student for fulfilling the applicable requirements for admissions, initial eligibility, and financial aid for this institution, the SEC conference and the NCAA. The student agrees to be bound by and to abide by determinations and by the requirements rules and procedures of this institution, the SEC and NCAA concerning his or her eligibility. The student further acknowledges and agrees that this institution, the SEC and the NCAA, may make different eligibility determinations. The student must be deemed eligible by all three entities to compete in intercollegiate athletics.

10. Signing this agreement, the student acknowledges he or she understands, SEC bylaw 15.01.2, which prohibits another SEC member from awarding him or her an athletics grant-in-aid for two full academic years if, after signing this financial grant-in-aid, the student is eligible to receive an athletics grant-in-aid but chooses not to enroll in and attend the institution listed on the document for at least one full academic term period.


Here is the link to the SEC rulings

If you go to page 26 of the manual you can get a better idea at this ruling.

The problem with your unnecessary post is that Hill signed his financial aid agreement on December 7th during his OV to Bama when the actual flip occurred and that was why he couldn't go to Ole Miss.

Ole Yancy Pants stated it was something he signed LAST year.

You can't be as stupid as that arse clown, can you?

Read your buddies post above. If Hill signed a financial aid agreement with Ole Miss, as you claim, he could not sign one with another SEC school. It's #5 in his wall of text.

Therefore, if he signed one with Ole Miss it was done AFTER he signed one with Alabama, which is highly unlikely.

Unless Yancy Pants reports otherwise of course.

This all started because of this:

@YancyPorter: Brandon Hill signed an SEC agreement when he went to Hargrave that bounds him to Alabama. He now can not go to another SEC school

---

So what was this SEC agreement that Hill signed when he went to Hargrave?

Is Yancy now claiming that it was GIA papers? If so, why didn't he say GIA papers? Also, can a player sign GIA papers with a 4 year school while he is at prep school?

Hill signed his financial aid agreement during his official visit 3 weeks ago. He's said as much.

High school kids usually don't sign financial aid agreements before signing their LOIs unless they enroll early to cover the costs of their first spring semester of college.

Hill was a known long shot to qualify even if he took high school summer credits last year. Therefore, he would not have signed a FAA until he enrolled.

Mainly, FAAs are there to cover the costs of players who enroll early, as Hill is doing next month, to cover their expenses before they can officially sign their LOIs in February.

All of that to say, this Yancy bro was either making shite up or completely fricking clueless when he posted the tweet in sarc's post up there. Probably both IMO.

I think we've finally gotten across to these Rebs that their "guru" is full of shite. At least I hope so, the situation couldn't be more fricking clear.

Yep, and it's spelled out even more on page 25 of the SEC Compliance rules that's linked above:

quote:

---

A student-athlete who has signed a financial aid agreement with a member institution and is eligible to receive the athletic scholarship on the institution’s first day of classes of the academic year specified on the financial aid agreement, but who does not enter that institution or who does enter and withdraws from that institution before fully completing his/her first semester or quarter (except when the recipient of an athletic scholarship award enters military service before enrolling in the awarding institution and remains in military service for a period of eighteen months or more), shall not be eligible to receive an athletics grant-in-aid during the student-athlete’s first two years in residence at the second SEC institution. [Revised 6/2/06; effective 8/1/2006]

---

So, if he signed an FAA with Bama last year, it would not restrict him from going anywhere he wanted now because he was not eligible on the first day of classes this past fall.

Well done fellow Bama fans. Maybe we should charge a monthly fee to keep people informed about the ongoings of college football recruiting a la Yancy Pants.

Uh, I think you will find that the last few pages have been mostly Bama fans debunking your idiot recruiting "expert" with cold, hard facts, not State fans rejoicing in Yancy being wrong.

I think your butthurt should be directed at the Ole Miss superfan who charges people to subscribe to his drivel, not towards State fans.

If anything, today's events have only solidified their claims that he is a fricking joke. Why on earth would you not realize that?
