Masoli denied, Ole Miss appeals

Posted on August 31, 2010in Uncategorized. View Comments This just in from a statement sent out by Ole Miss athletic department. Will be back with more following 4 p.m. press conference concerning this issue.

OXFORD, Miss. â€” Ole Miss appealed an NCAA waiver decision Tuesday that would restrict Jeremiah Masoli from playing football for the Rebels until 2011.

The Ole Miss appeal of the NCAA staffâ€™s decision will now be reviewed by an NCAA subcommittee. A response could be expected as early as Friday but no later than one week

Now that's gonna' leave a mark. Just going by memory here but wasn't Masoli kicked off the Duck's squad? Was he suspended, kicked out of school or what? I think that regardless, he's supposed to sit for a year. Hell, if Nutt can sign 68 players in one class, certainly he can get an ineligible player to suit up and play QB.

No, not regardless...but regardless, it appears he's not playing this year.

He actually has a degree from Oregon. He was to enroll in Parks and Recreation as a grad student at Ole Miss.

Oh my bad, I knew he was in the masters program but I thought it was forrestry. The only reason he chose parks and rec is because by NCAA rule he had to find a Masters degree program that is not offered at Oregon in order to transfer without having to sit out.

The NCAA says that this was an attempt to circumnavigate the spirit in which the rule was created. I wouldn't be expecting Masoli on the sideline anytime soon.

Well then, what is the spirit in which the rule was created? I'm guessing for like redshirt juniors or seniors who have already graduated, get a new coach who installs a system that eliminates their position? Colin Peek even had to sit out a year at Alabama when the TE position was eliminated from Georgia Tech's offense.

I will try to find the exact rule in play here. I mean, unless it flat out in black and white says one way or another, fuck all this "spirit of the rule" shit, until they change the rule officially. I'm guessing that it's not spelled out in black in white. I mean, Nutt is crazy as a shithouse rat sure, but I don't think he's stupid. I just don't think he would have put all his eggs in one basket on this kid if it was clear it would never get by the NCAA.

This could be NCAA payback for Nutt constantly flaunting the rules and allowing his brother on the sidelines and/or in the booth despite having his hand slapped about it.

I personally think this does have something to do with it. Add to that, you know they don't like the kid either so the NCAA had the opp to take out two birds and they did.

No worries here guys. RWS has to spout this bullshit so when Saban finds a loophole in some kind of new recruiting tactic, he can call him a fucking genius. He really doesn't believe this bullshit.

The NCAA created this rule as a benefit for those players who graduate early and want to pursue a masters degree elsewhere. The kid graduated form something in Oregon. He decided to transfer to Old Mrs. Under the current rule, he did nothing wrong. I don;t like the kid or Nutt, but the NCAA cannot be such pompous assholes that they just change the rule as they see fit at any time. The kid was not thrown out of school and followed the rules, no matter what the intent. He should be eligible. I am totally sick of the NCAA and wish the SEC would align itself with a few more conferences and tell the NCAA to suck it.

Had he not been kicked off the oregon team he would not have transferred to Ole Miss. Pretty sure the NCAA di not mean to givea kid a chance cicumvent a suspension.

I know you're referring to the video conferencing. It says in black and white in the recruiting rule book that video conferencing is considered a phone call. It wasn't a loophole. It wasn't an act of genius. It was a matter of simply reading the rules. Very simple. For that matter, I wasn't one of the ones touting Saban as a genius for it. But I don't buy this whole "spirit of the rule" bullshit. Either it is, or it isn't.

Unless it was an NCAA mandated suspension, it's none of their fucking business.

The NCAA has about as much business trying to mandate all this shit as Tiger Woods has keeping an eye on your woman for you.
