Quick story: Jalen Brooks' waiver denied

Play him anyway. What's the worst that could happen? We vacate any wins we get in this bogus year? Tired of the NCAA's BS.
I actually like this idea... Let’s be honest- are we planning to win any championships with this team? Eligibility would not count for him nor anybody else this year anyway... Eff the NCAA- they have no say in FB exceot to screw with players in completely subjective ways like this! They don’t control championships or scheduling for major college FB, why do we even ask their opinion!?!
 
What a big giant load of $hit. I just don’t see any real difference between him and the Shorter kid (well, there is one) It looks like the only real factor in getting a waiver is how expensive a lawyer you can hire.

Question: If this season doesn't count towards eligibility, how can the NC freaking AA keep someone from playing? Why do they hate us?
 
Here are some of the examples of the NCAA looking out for some of the “star” waiver players just this year.

LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech announced Wednesday it has received an NCAA waiver that grants sophomore defensive lineman Tyree Wilsonimmediate eligibility for the 2020 football season.

Wilson, a Texas A&M transfer, arrived in Lubbock midway through preseason camp, giving the Red Raiders additional depth up front. He will have three years of eligibility remaining with the Red Raiders.

The 6-foot-6, 280 pound defensive lineman saw action in 12 games for the Aggies in 2019, notching 12 tackles as only a redshirt freshman. He was credited with 3.0 tackles for a loss, including 1.5 sacks, while also adding a quarterback hurry as a reserve along the defensive line.

Tennessee and Cade Mays are still preparing as if the Georgia transfer will be cleared to play in Saturday's season opener, but the Vols are also working through their plans on the offensive line in case no ruling from the SEC comes before the team heads to South Carolina on Friday. Head coach Jeremy Pruitt updated the latest with Mays, who is awaiting conference clearance after winning his NCAA appeal, during the SEC teleconference on Wednesday. Pruitt also reiterated his stance in favor of transfers getting immediate eligibility.


TCU got some good news on Friday afternoon as two of their defensive players were granted waivers by the NCAA; LSU transfer Marcel Brooksand New Mexico transfer Dylan Horton. Both players will be immediately eligible for the 2020 season. Brooks was ranked as the No. 32 overall player in the nation for the 2019 class and ranked as the No. 2 outside linebacker prospect.


New USF tailback Darrian Felix, who appeared in seven games for Oregon last fall, announced via social media Tuesday he has been declared eligible for the 2020 season.

USF also confirmed the news. Because he appeared in more than four contests in 2019, Felix needed an NCAA waiver to earn immediate eligibility with the Bulls. One of the most prominent of the Bulls’ transfer-portal acquisitions, Felix ― a 5-foot-11, 197-pound Fort Myers native ― had an injury-besieged career with the Duck before arriving at USF in December. Last fall, he had 197 yards and two touchdowns on 34 carries, with six catches for 78 yards.

These are kids leaving major programs to go to other major programs. One would logically deduce that it should be easier for a no name kid to transfer from a no name college.
 
For all the whining and examples of guys getting approval how many of those guys transferred twice in the same year. If he would have come straight from Wingate I seriously doubt there would have been an issue.

This was denied because he went to Tarleton State and then transferred when they cancelled the season and enrolled here. None of those other cases are even remotely close to this outside of it being a “transfer”.
