Odd that they would feel so confident about Gibbs and still not have heard on Solomon. And we also know that Trey has been cleared for contact because he’s participated in contact drills, yet CJP remains mum on that situation as well.

Solomon and Gibbs were different situations. UT always planned to RS Gibbs, because he didn’t really have a case. From the outset, UT knew UGA was not going to be cooperative and would contest the filing on any grounds. So UT filed on both and hoped to split the difference, letting the NCAA deny one and pushing hard to get the other approved.

Regarding immediate eligibility, I have a big issue with the QBs that have been allowed to have eligibility immediately. Makes no sense that all of these non-grad transfer QBs have been able to have immediate eligibility.

I get what you're saying but I've seen several of these within conference transfers be approved as well. Idk the details of the bases of appeals but it seems like some of these are pretty arbitrary. I have a hard time believing they'd let this one go right up to kickoff time.

What does that have to do with immediate eligibility? I don't know all the rules, but never heard of that as being any factor.

With the Redshirt rules of participation in only 4 games, maybe it should be taken into consideration.

It's the standard they've set. Debate all day about the correct decision but there's too much question in their previous cases.
They set an iffy standard but need to follow through until next year. Same as when they make subpar penalty changes.

Go from lax to 'to the letter' in the same season, you're just asking for a negative spotlight.

The NCAA recently tightened the transfer guidelines. Schools and their attorneys were getting very creative with the mitigating circumstances exception to gain immediate eligibility for players, so the NCAA tried to close the loophole to reduce the number of waivers approved. The guidelines have never been evenly enforced. That won't change, but fewer players will get waivers.

The whole thing just becomes another item added to the list of inconsistencies.

Still don't get why that would be a factor. The only guidelines I'm familiar with are things involving a player's health, safety, or well-being. Or taking care of a sick family member within 100 miles of the new school. How many games you played or redshirted has never been brought up afaik.

Tbf, there are tons and tons at every position. I just scrolled the 247 list. Soo many. Many denied too. I think the QBs just made the headlines more than others.

This is why they shouldn’t be able to change the rules when ever they feel like it. All major sports have some sort of collective bargaining agreement. They can only change things when the agreement runs out. Before anyone says well players don’t get paid, your right they don’t but the NCAA makes billions of dollars. They should do five year agreements so at least for five years everyone knows the rules.
