[rvalenza]

Anyone hear anything on this? Did they actually appeal for Lucas??

I would like to know the same thing here. Because if the ACC has not appealed this, I just don’t know what to say anymore about this conference. It’s as clear as day It wasn’t targeting so what the **** is going on here!

Mario and the school has to apply for one. No one has asked him yet if they have .

I thought I heard on Alex Donno's podcast they did but he thought since the targeting criteria is so subjective it would be hard to overturn

Well, if that’s true, and it has been appealed, it would be nice to get an answer on it soon?

Could be kept under wraps deliberately. Why let them know for planning purposes if he’ll play in the first half or not

"We'll let you know by Tuesday at some point."

- Probably the NCAA

would like to know also

It is only for a half.

Hopefully Indiana would only have a couple of possessions cause we run it down their throats the whole time.

I'd like to think that participation in the national title game would have some form of impact on this.
If I were guessing, the NCAA will approve him to play on Monday at like 4:00PM EST.

Both “schools and conferences”, per policy may appeal. The standard to overturn a targeting call suspension is whether the NCAA national coordinator of officials deems it “clearly obvious” that the call was wrong.

Don’t hold your breath.

After posting around a bunch of lawyers for 15 years I know enough about governing bodies not wanting to mess with precedents to know Lucas won’t be available until the 2nd half

In reality, it’s all politics. As an example, precedent has not fared well in the Supreme Court of late.

Now - to be clear - you are absolutely correct in a traditional historical context. But things have changed a lot over the last decade.

IMO Lucas playing or not playing the first half will depend upon who has more juice with the deciders.

I just wanted to make a lawyer joke

SEC got a couple overturned last year.

 

[Poptimus]

SEC got a couple overturned last year.

So did Ohio State and BYU. But Notre Dame and Michigan have each lost appeals. There is precedent to have it overturned, but sadly that precedent is rooted in subjective findings that give me zero confidence it will result in Lucas’ suspension being overturned.

Hopefully, I’m wrong.

 

[FlatlandCane]

It should be overturned on conflict of interest alone. Big refs call targeting on an ACC player who will play against the Big conference champion in the CFP champ game. Get out of here!

I'm just saying, it's not impossible.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
