Jeremiah Williams May Be Eligible Soon: Decision Wednesday 10am
- Thread starter gregkoko
- Start date
Why stop there? Trade deadline is Dec 31.
I am advocating for a level playing field. Why does Wake's two-transfer C get cleared a day before our game, but ours is still sitting out? Why did UNC get their WR transfer cleared midseason, but Brantley had to sit all year? The double standards bother my sense of fairness.
Seems like they have been approving more waivers recently. Here’s another one
Until they change the rules which has been discussed but not finalized (my understanding) how would he not face some sort of suspension?
he sort of has been suspended by the NCAA indirectly.
I have seen Jeremiah in practice. He is very confident in what he can do and looks pretty good. I myself would like to see him at the two guard or small forward on offense. I wish he and Mag could both play tomorrow and hopefully be able to contain Richmond to some extent who is so very tall and strong as a point guard.
Those charges were already significantly reduced earlier in November by the NCAA....
If the waiver is granted soon then he can sit out the remainder of the first half of the season due to the gambling thing.
I thought it was “if it involves rutgers just bone them”
he'll be forced to bet on the Jets every week
I looked it up a while back and it was like a third of the season or something but nj.com had an article saying full season which seemed extreme
“Williams also admitted to placing wagers on other college basketball games. This would mean he would lose half a season of eligibility under the NCAA’s new gambling rules.”
That’s the best I found but if we get past the two time transfer thing would it be 1/2 season from start of the season (like time already served type of deal)?
That’s probably the key.

Getting a waiver this year is huge if the penalty is half a season. If he gets denied a waiver and sits half of next season, that hurts big time
I don't think the NCAA will consider sitting out due to transfer as also counting for suspension time
If the transfer restrictions are deemed illegal then I would think “time served” for the gambling suspension would count.
That's a good point. If it does happen this way, and we can figure out a way to stay afloat... the team could make a strong second half push
The question is can we survive and stay alive. A lost today and our OOC resume is irredeemable IMO. I know I keep saying this over and over and over but it's true
Akron and the witnesses for the player apparently did a good job convincing the NCAA of the player's mental health issues in this case, and that he's better off playing at Akron for multiple reasons. Maybe they were able to put some fear of a potential lawsuit in the NCAA if the NCAA denied the waiver and there were unfortunate or tragic consequences down the road too... Each waiver situation is different and the reasons for the waiver requests differ, and each school and involved player's witnesses will vary in how convincing they end up being in the waiver appeal.

A loss today and we can still end December at 8-4. Then, if we can go 11-8 in our remaining B1G games, with both Mag and JW playing (and maybe Ogbole in a backup 5 role), then one win in the B1G tournament would likely get us to the big dance.
Last year we were told by the NCAA tournament committee that we were not selected in part because of the season ending injury to Mag. If that’s a valid reason, then we should be given the same consideration if we finish strong this year with both Mag and JW playing, despite our mediocre record in OOC games when those two weren’t available.
Lawsuit aims to eliminate all NCAA transfer restrictions, while some are pushing for a stricter policy
A court case this week could spark a major change in the NCAA transfer policy. But the fight is just beginning

Decision coming in a few hours
Yes it's the court ruling, but if the court rules in players' favor he would be immediately eligible pending gambling investigation.
dont forget that the year prior we were given the benefit of the doubt (despite our bad computer # due to 2 really bad early season losses) due to our vastly improved play in the latter half of the season which included that run of numerous wins over ranked teams (which , if I recall correctly, was an unprecedented accomplishment for an unranked team).
thus, if we go on a similar run in the latter half of the year there is always a CHANCE we could still make it. but will come down to... just win!
Folks, the hearing before the judge STARTED at 10:00 a.m. A decision may or may not come today. Federal judges typically don't "rule from the bench" on complicated legal issues, although this is a hearing requesting a "temporary restraining order," which is the sort of "immediate" relief that might prompt the judge to rule quickly.
