Arkansas is a likely target. He wants to go to a school that is a BCS contender. Although I dont foresee Arkansas being that...
NotAJerry wrote:Interesting to see him leave. He did have a better completion % and YPA than Sims, but Rocco had a real INT problem. His TD-INT ratio was 26-22 over two years of playing mostly full time while Sims was 9-4 this year and obviously has more time left at UVA. I'll trust the judgement of a coach who wants to make recruiting inroads in the 757 on this one.FIFY

Heard twice today that #UVa QB Michael Rocco is visiting Temple, where Owls' QB Chris Coyer will be a senior next year. Rocco would sit out.

Michael Rocco must hold his stance in football limbo for a while longer.
The waiver the University of Richmond submitted to the NCAA in mid-February on behalf of the quarterback who transferred to UR from Virginia in January was denied, Spiders coach Danny Rocco said on Tuesday.
Richmond will appeal, and Danny Rocco remains hopeful that Michael Rocco, his nephew, could be eligible this season for the Spiders, who return 17 starters from an 8-3 team that shared the 2012 CAA Football championship.

Release:04/11/2013
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The NCAA has informed the University of Richmond that the Legislative Council Subcommittee for Legislative Relief denied the school’s appeal for a one-time transfer exception for football student-athlete Michael Rocco.
NCAA bylaws require two seasons of remaining eligibility in order for a student-athlete to play immediately when transferring from the Football Bowl Subdivision to the Football Championship Subdivision. Rocco, a transfer from the University of Virginia, has one season of eligibility remaining and is on track to graduate in four years. He is currently enrolled at Richmond as a transfer in residence.
