'18 GA RB Lyn-J Dixon (Tennessee transfer)

[Blake25p]

He is, but he was also a grad transfer to WV. So, that put a wrinkle into it.

Grad transfers can transfer without sitting out as many times as they want if they have eligibility remaining. Bru isn’t a grad transfer and has already transferred once (Texas to USC).

That was what I thought was weird. Do grad transfers just get immunity from the rules?

No. Adam Sparks even reported the other week he had begun his endeavor for immediate eligibility. Either it's a shoe-in and an easy assumption or a very straightforward type of waiver (coming in under a grad program not offered by WVU) that was quickly processed. I also imagine the number of waivers must be miniscule these days, so if both sides are on board, it should be quick.

Both Q11 (he entered the portal after May 1) and Q12 suggest he wouldn't qualify for the one-time exception criteria.

Those are the old rules. Now all (regular, there are still other oddball ones) exceptions are rolled up under the one and only one-time exception. Though their waiver cases can be easier. Exception vs waiver...

To be clear, Bru transferred twice before the one-time rule for free transfers. Theoretically, that should mean he is free to transfer.

I wasn’t sure about multiple transfers as a graduate, but that is not very common and not aware of precedent. Nonetheless, I agree with the intent that kids who graduate should be rewarded.

The new rule didn't wipe away pre-rule transfers is all. It is a strictly one-time transfer rule. Not two-or-three transfer rule depending on when the first transfer was or if you graduated. One time is one time, blanket.

This doesn’t make sense though (I know, it’s the NCAA), but you can’t retroactively say a kid used his one time transfer before they implemented the rule. It’s like retroactively changing a law to someone’s detriment. There are a number of kids that are immediately eligible after they had previously transferred.

I’m pretty sure Dixon has been cleared to play.

Heupel said he was in the post scrimmage interview today.

Bru will be eligible. Just some BS. NCAA is going to drag their feet about his eligibility.

NCAA usually gets the job done before the season starts.
