Justin Fields granted immediate Waiver by NCAA

[BeachCanes]

I really don't see how Tate is gonna get his waiver. What is the basis of his argument to get immediate eligibility? Fields had the racism issue. Definitely not getting my hopes up.

Domestic abuse and coaching change possibly?

 

[AL CANE]

What is the domestic abuse case? Had not heard about this

 

[hoops156]

lol SEC writers saying Martell doesn't have a legit reason but fields did. both ran from comp. lets be real. fields wasnt good enough to beat out and fromm and ran away. thats the truth at the end of the day. if he was really offended by the slurs, why is his sister still at UGA

 

[Canes1968]

What is his ammo?

First, you have the obvious. The coaching change. Along with that comes the fact that tOSU is doing things differently at QB now too. Martell also had to be talked about of transferring before, and may have some ammo related to the things Urban and others may have said to him to get him to stick around that turned out to be lies.

Second, you have the issue with the Urban Meyer scandal. Tate is very close with his sister and can easily build a case that because of his relationship with his sister he has a heightened respect for women and significant disdain for those who abuse women and those who look the other way when women are being abused. As such, he can easily make the case that he is disturbed by the way tOSU handled the situation and can't in good conscience continue to be a student at such an institution, let alone a student-athlete. One might challenge why he didn't transfer sooner, and the answer to that is simple, the scandal broke too close to football season to allow Tate to find another school that would be a good fit for him athletically and academically.

Bingo

I'm not, it would suck but even if Tate is not eligible this year I believe Enos can get Jarren ready.

Think more at this point we want another reason to be mad at the ncaa for pulling another bull**** move against this university and treating us differently then some of the media darlings.

I believe in both Martel and jarren but would rather them battle it out then someone having the job handed to them when Kosi inevitably screws up again.

 

[Girthquake]

Lol shade.

**** yeah Barry Jackson

The WR coach got fired for domestic abuse against his wife. Turns out there was a long history of it and Urban knew about it and did nothing.

 

[nobeastofburden]

Of course.

 

[ICANEDOIT]

One drunk throwing a racial epithet amongst 80,000 people? Goodness gracious, every AA player in the SEC will be eligible to immediately transfer if that is the new precedent.

 

[UMFarArcher]

Baghdad Bob needs to be running the NCAA.

He has much, much more integrity.

 

[305407cane]

Barry has gotten ballsy as of late. Good for him.

I swear he reads on here and read our crap talk

 

[JBCanes-NC]

Death sentence for Martell.. See ya in 2020

 

[cocanes]

Is Martell using same attorney?

I think only the coaching change is a legit argument for the NCAA. Fields had the racism card (which I frankly agree with) that the NCAA won't argue; Tate can't point to an issue like that. I think the sister argument is clever, but might be a stretch. I'm hopeful, but not confident, that he'll get a waiver.

 

[JgDaCane]

All Tate has to say is his former coach beat his wife & he was not comfortable in that environment. Can’t be denied.

 

[Cribby]

Can't be.

Y'all swore that his sister staying at UGA would invalidate his concerns about staying there ...

Most people here said he’d get it but knew he was just manipulating the situation. Just like Tate would be.

Both want to start. And are using the circumstances. If Uga is so bad and offensive i seriously doubt anyone would let their baby sister/daughter go there.

It’s common sense.

 

[Canes Brotherhood]

WTF?

I hope the NCAA is as lenient with Martell & Martin.

Hope? They better. Blake James better be ready to go after the ncaa if they don’t.
It’s not about being linient, if they follow the rule book he should be cleared.

Lol then anyone can claim racism(especially In the $ec) and transfer out. Tate has a better case because his coach left... plus fields sister didn’t feel threaten by all the rasist ppl in Georgia?

 

[theibisrules]

Lol shade.

Barry Jackson is my dude, keep it up B Jax.
