Some eligibility issue rumors floating around….

I’m sure due diligence was done here, what are these rumors?

Brought a misty eye to this ole VOL fan.

TN Walking Horse and the voice of Bobby Denton are legendary traditions.

Just some 247 chatter. Patrick Brown seems optimistic it will amount to nothing, but he’s checking in on it. Rumors that the waiver issue might still be in play.

Threaten legal representation, gain eligibility, rinse & repeat.

From earlier this week:

Is Bru Mccoy eligible?

On track to be I’m told.

Something about Bru’s whole situation made me question taking him. I wish we got Neyor instead

Maybe, but “on track” sounds far from a guarantee.

Wanna bet that if both play a full season bru has a better one than neyor?

But we didn’t…after we did. I had no questions taking him…even if Neyor hadn’t vamoosed.

This screams the NCAA will get to by week 3 just because it's TN.

Hopefully this is just my BVS flaring up.

Glad you did not get your wish.

What "eligibility" is possibly in question?

 

[GBO121]

What "eligibility" is possibly in question?

The question surrounds his double transfer. Technically the move to UT would be his 3rd transfer. USC to Tex to USC to UT. The question is, did players get a clean slate when the one time transfer rule was passed or does he still need a waiver?

Thanks. That seems crazy to me, though. It isn't like McCoy had already taken advantage of the free transfer, so he isn't double-dipping on that new idea.

Frustrating because this wouldn't be a problem had Bru transferred to Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, or any other similar program. Hopefully this gets worked out because we need this young man this fall.

Guys are getting paid now
transfer rules and academics should no longer be an issue for eligibility IMO

The NCAA should no longer be able to enforce anything

I had the same thought. Last year’s situation with Young comes to mind.

 

[DawgInterloper]

The NCAA should no longer be able to enforce anything

I understand the frustration and it's a sentiment that seems widespread; the NCAA has lost its mandate to make or enforce the rules. That opens a lot of doors when teams decide to pick and choose which rules they follow, or if the NCAA neuters its own enforcement arm.

85 roster limit, optional. Limits on how often and when a team can practice, optional. Limits on direct payments to athletes from schools, optional. Requirements to take classes, be enrolled in school, get passing grades, optional. Requirement that recruits finish high school or Junior college, optional. Limits on number of years a college athlete retains eligibility, optional. Limits on how many times, or when, a player can transfer to another school and participate, optional. I guess if teams want, they could hire the other team's quarterback at half time. It may all sound silly, but that's the endpoint of no functional governing body.

Would be really great if worst case scenario he was cleared by Pitt game

He should still get a waiver because he technically sat out last year.

That would get you a waiver before the transfer rules.

I'd say we shouldn't have to worry

But the NCAA basically improvised a rule in the 11th hour to keep Byron Young out last year, so I wouldn't be surprised if they screw us here.
