martell will be using the meyer scandal as well as him leaving as his reason for hardship. he will get his eligibility too.

[ballcoach15]

NCAA may as well put in a rule, if a QB gets benched, he can transfer and play immediately.

So why is it coaches can do this and players should not be able to?
If I commit to my wife and she decides to go play for the other team ..... I am transferring .....

Hosea you are not

[ballcoach15]

Some player transferred from Coastal Carolina to VT, and applied for a hardship wavier to be able to play without sitting out a year. His mother had brain surgery . The stupid NCAA denied it because the player's mother lives 5 miles too far from VT. Yet NCAA allowed Justin Fields to transfer and play immediately, along with a couple other QBs who transferred because they got benched.

But players shouldn't transfer at all and ruining college athletics as we know it, so why do you care?

You’d think he’d applaud the decision

[ballcoach15]

Hardship cases where a family member is sick, injured, etc. is the ONLY reason transfers should be granted without sitting out a year. And they must be fully documented.
Getting benched isn't a hardship case.

Gotcha, just trying to keep up with your backtracking

Regarding those players you say were/are permitted to
Play immediately after transferring for benching: was the benching the reason they gave the NCAA?

[BJWilliams]

Without seeing the packet of information Fields or Martell submitted to the NCAA (since I'm guessing they aren't public record), I can assume that being benched isn't the primary reason they each have to the NCAA when they requested immediate eligibility. Now I will say also that Martell's situation is a bit different because they did go through a coaching change with Meyer retiring and Day ascending to the head job, so that probably played into his appeal for being able to play immediately.

I think that the geographic proximity reasoning the NCAA gave in denying the young men who transferred is though. There needs to be some leeway in the mileage consideration when evaluating given that precedent.

[olldflame]

Field's justification was that he is a pathetic snowflake fleeing racist oppression from a former baseball player who is no longer even a student at Georgia. Of course, none of that is true. He and his lawyer were just clever enough to know the NCAA would be afraid not to buy it.

[ballcoach15]

Anyone can make up a lie and tell to NCAA, and the NCAA isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

Intelligence is not the issue, it's cowardice and political correctness. The story is not a total fabrication. There was a baseball player at Georgia who directed some racial slurs at Fields. He was dismissed from the team and has since left school. Logic would seem to indicate that there is no more threat of him facing that again at GA than at Ohio State, or anywhere else, but this was the easier path for the NCAA to take.

[ballcoach15]

Even the dumbest person in Georgia and at the NCAA headquarters, knows that Fields transferred because he is not #1 on depth chart.

[JK37]

The NCAA doesn’t need that fight. Let the kid go, move on. The only danger is the precedent it sets. Cross that bridge when it comes.

It appears now that far too many coaches "recruit from other schools", instead of high schools, for skill position players.

Ballcoach, I know you hate UVa, but how many transfers do the Hoos really get from other schools? I'm shocked that you didn't include Louisville in your list instead.
