The rule is there, he's pursuing a graduate degree, and I'm fairly certain that a majority of these transfers aren't "for academic" purposes as the NCAA put it. Most of them are likely related to playing time or disciplinary issues with their old school. Masoli just happens to be unlucky enough to be a high profile case.

As far as the CFL stuff....totally unsubstantiated. It's just a blogger speculating, and I'll believe it when I see it. Masoli would be better off sticking with Ole Miss for the year, playing his last year there, and if he turns heads and stays out of trouble in the interim he's probably still a fairly high draft pick.


That's not something where you're just taking issue with the team you're on, like playing time or discipline. If he'd been in trouble for violating team curfew...I'd agree with you entirely. But he committed actual crimes, knowing the NCAA rules for when this happens (I assure you, the students know. I was an NCAA Athlete. It's drilled into our heads.). He can just shut up and deal, imo.

His crimes aren't really open and shut cases though...more the variety of wrong place wrong time Brian - 01/09/2010 05:31:21 PM 274 Views
Why not? That's how life works. LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 07:13:20 PM 278 Views
The possession charge was a simple civil infraction Brian - 01/09/2010 08:40:54 PM 266 Views
the NCAA has their own drug policies outside of the law. LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 09:04:11 PM 256 Views
The NCAA drug policies are a joke Brian - 02/09/2010 08:39:42 AM 296 Views

track team fantasy sounds funny ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 01/09/2010 08:14:38 PM 267 Views
Decision appealed and reversed, by the way. Guess the NCAA doesn't agree with you after all. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/09/2010 03:45:40 PM 109 Views
Nope, no it doesn't. *NM* The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/09/2010 09:04:49 PM 114 Views
Karma, baby! The_Muted_Grimaud - 05/09/2010 06:10:46 PM 242 Views
It wasn't really his fault though that his defense stunk it up. He did his part. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 05/09/2010 07:30:42 PM 115 Views
