The NCAA Transfer rules are total BS.   Transfer requests should be decided on a "case by case" basis. There should not be any "blanket" rules that lump players who take care of their business in the classroom and on the field with those that fail classes and get in trouble off the field.   The system sucks!   I'll be happy to provide anyone with information on the transfer rules and U of H baseball in general.

  If he is having to transfer to be closer to a sick parent, he could receive a waiver from the NCAA and play D1 next season.   Family Hardship Waivers Family hardship waivers are some of the most common and most controversial waivers decided by the NCAA. The reason it is so controversial is many student-athletes in football and basketball request these waivers, and whether one is granted or denied can seem inconsistent. The key thing to remember is that a student-athlete is arguing that the best thing for the athlete and his or her family is to allow the athlete to play immediately and that the athlete needs to transfer to assist with an ill or injured family member. The NCAA measures this in three areas. Nature of the injury or illness: The injury or illness should be life-threatening and involve an immediate family member (parent, legal guardian, or sibling). Waivers that are denied typically involve an extended family member (aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc.) unless that family member raised the student-athlete. Student-athlete’s responsibilities related to the care of the family member: The more involved the student-athlete is in the day-to-day care for the family member, the more likely the waiver is to be granted. Chronology of events: Waivers are more likely to be granted if something changed that prompted the student-athlete’s transfer like a diagnosis, the actual injury, or a worsening condition. Waivers are less likely to be granted if a family member has been ill or injured for a while, and nothing changed that require the student-athlete to transfer. When requesting the waiver, the school must submit at least three sets of information, much of which will come from the student-athlete or his or her family: Documentation from the doctor who diagnosed the family member; Documentation from the doctor who is currently treating the family member; and A letter from the student-athlete explaining the need for a waiver. These documentation standards can be hefty. Medical documentation typically includes both a letter from the doctor and medical documents like charts, treatment orders, and prescriptions

  A team that was playing for the conference championship on the last day of the season. Plus, they had Case McCoy at QB.   The ags had 4 losses with the Heisman winner at QB and two other potential 1st rd picks on offense. Outstanding!   You guys might want to change your macot to the Gravy Trains, cause that's all you do,

Why do I need to know that you're gay?   Projected 3rd to 5th round pick who is undersized by NFL defensive lineman standards.

  Becasue when they were in the Big Xii, they were a middle of the pack team and now....oh wait, nevermind.

Coach Bedford should have just said that aTm was better and UT has no chance of ever beating them again. Interesting stat: UT has a record of 43-22 in the past 5 seasons. Texas A&M has a record of 42-23. Texas A&M also had Johnny Manziel during that time. #HookEm -- Longhorn Scoop (@LonghornScoop)

UT. Duke sucks.

BYU ain't on Duke's level.

It was a nice job by Coach Strong. Can't wait to see how he does this year recruiting wise. Inspector Gadget better gas up the Swag-o-copter. He's about to get out worked.

  That's really awesome. How many of those will win a NC next year?   ****Stat of the day-It will not be aTm.***** The New Coach February

  If you ain't first, you're last.   UT-4th place = coaching change aTm-4th place = coach gets $2M pay raise   The site may have "crashed", but the data is not lost.

Kudos to both universities.   [Hidden Content]

  Keep telling yourself that.

So what's Sumlin going to do next January? Go all "Amelia Earhart" in the Swag-o-copter in order to divert attention from yet another 4th place division finish?   Swag-uary signing day belongs to Mr. Sumlin (aka Coach Gadget),

Size doesn't matter. (So I've heard) 8)

Things that make you go, hmmmm.

The Goose is running wild!

A-Rod is planning on appealing any suspension. This could drag out the rest of this season.

How would you coach basketball and baseball? Those  sports tend to overlap.

Gotta go with Ned. Purple only looks good on Barry Manilow.

Never saw the young man play. It's sad that college coaches refuse to look at anything other than the physical attributes of a player. Can't is a four letter word. Good luck.

It seems like a kid's size goes a long way in recruiting.  Guys who don't fit the mold usually have to go the extra mile to prove themselves. [/quote] Really not my intention to "trash" MQ as you see from my original post. Just stirring the pot, but in hindsight I should have pulled up. My apologies. There's several other threads where I can trash talk Vidor and we have fun taking swipes back and forth.  :-\ P.S. Goose Creek still STINKS. You can learn from SC. A new program that dominates. [/quote] Dear Summer Stink, I am not familiar with your program. I checked the history of Texas high school football and I can not find a record of your school. Maybe you're confused about your relevance. Put us on the schedule. We've beat almost every team in the area at least once. We'd be happy to add you to the list. Sincerely, The Goose

It appears the class bus does not stop there very often. [/quote] Goose Creek Memorial ...need to focus on beating a team with a winning record. [/quote] Put us on the schedule. We'll start with you.
