If you want the title, you can have the title. I will do an ironclad irrevocable assisgnment. I'll contact Northern Virginia Cane to write a memo of enforceability.

You're not understanding the word "extra". You're really not. Everyone else got to take a take a regular redshirt WHEN THEY WANTED (not when YOU are trying to force them to take it) AND they got the 2020 free year. Taulia was being forced to take his regular redshirt year AND his free year at...

Yeah, that's just not true.

Look, I'm going to be patient here, but not for much longer. The discussion is, and has always been, about making the strongest possible argument for getting the waiver. I don't care about your personal opinions. For that matter, I don't care about MY OWN personal opinions either. It...

I'm not understanding your math. I'm saying they get the EXACT SAME one extra year, just in a different year. RS-20/COVID-21. One extra year. Not sure why that isn't landing with you.

Every school knows the redshirt rule. Not every school knows how to apply the redshirt rule at the same time as trying to apply the COVID rule. And that should have been the basis of the appeal. Not 2019, because you accurately point out that every school knows the redshirt rule.

"All that is why everyone was given an extra year of eligibility." NCAA gave the free year so that there would not be a wave of Greg Rousseau opt-outs. I was questioning the "why", not the fact that it actually happened. And, yes, your last paragraph above about unintended consequences is...

Your last sentence is wrong. Nobody was given an extra year of eligibility because of 5-game seasons. They were given an extra year so that 2020 COULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN without mass-opt-outs like Greg Rousseau. The NCAA actually stated its "legislative intent" on the free year. Again, normal...

Mario didn't up any bags. The Collective had already agreed upon an NIL deal by Saturday night.

Of course it was. Doesn't change the fact that there were MANY Miami fans who swallowed that story hook, line, and sinker and were trying to tell us that Taulia getting a waiver was very probable. Just like you have a bunch of posters running around now, asking that their receipts not be...

I think you are misunderstanding the difference between a "free year" and a redshirt year (of any sort). Why can't Taulia redshirt in his second year? Jacurri just did. Jacurri only played in 2022 because of injuries to others. Would your answer change if Maryland only played 4 games in...

Here you have the factually incorrect reporting: “Tagovailoa played in five games as the third-string quarterback at Alabama in 2019, playing just two snaps in his fifth and final game at Mississippi State. He entered during the final snaps of a 38-7 win as a way to honor his brother, Tua, who...

Again, your example works fine for some kids, and not others. Let's not forget, COVID was a free year, regardless. You could play the entire season, 10 or 11 games (depending). Now, swap 2020 and 2021, get the SAME EXACT OUTCOME, and then you have parity. 2019 - Play 2020 - RS play four...

This is true. The "honoring Tua" game was his fourth game. He then entered a FIFTH game and actually threw passes.

Nope.

This is so shocking. Who could have foreseen this outcome? What, with Nick Saban writing a letter of support, and all... But but but Gaby and a lot of other people said there was confidence that the NCAA would toss out one of of its most basic rules about redshirting...

Did he, though?

So, IN THE PAST, the test of whether a player was "recruited" (and who could NOT walk-on without getting a scholarship offer) or "not recruited" (who COULD walk-on without counting as a "counter" or an "initial counter") was defined by whether the school gave a kid an OV and/or visited him...

The change to the rule giving everyone six years to play five is what caused the confusion. Because that was the intention of the rule. Nearly everyone who played in 2020 had ALREADY taken a redshirt year in a prior year. Thus, they were given a "regular" redshirt year AND a COVID redshirt...
