He probably will be granted eligibility because he "fears for his safety"
I haven't seen anywhere that said he fears for his safety. But it is hard to tell a kid he has to sit out for leaving a school when a fellow student-athlete calls him the N word repeatedly, regardless of what happened to the kid who said it. The precedent for a waiver comes from a rule that states, "A waiver will be granted “in cases where the student-athlete was a victim of objective, documented egregious behavior by a staff member or student at the previous institution and the previous institution supports the waiver.”

Because not even you can make up a legit excuse not to sit out a year.

He is transferring because he couldn’t beat out Fromm.
Avi bet - gets the waiver

Haha... Moron
Only a moron doesn’t understand, that is exactly why he is transferring.

My guess is — Georgia promised him the world when recruiting him. He gets on campus and he is sitting behind Fromm.

He knows he isn’t beating out Fromm, so he is transferring.

So... again... Are you going to show me where you've gotten information about him having "next to no chance of being granted exemption"?

I have agreed that's why he's transferring! Moron

“I think it (Fields’ waiver request) will be approved, especially if there’s more information there,” said Tim Nevius, a former investigator for the NCAA who now represents clients in cases against the organization. “They’re going to recognize it’s not something they want to endorse as appropriate behavior and that people should not be subject to that type of environment and should be able to transfer.”

“The reality of the matter is it’s not very easy for a student-athlete to walk away midseason,” said attorney Don Jackson, who has represented clients in cases against the NCAA for 28 years. “Whether he heard (the slurs) or not doesn’t take away from the fact that the comments were made and directed at him.

“If the waiver is not granted, it would really almost be a tacit acceptance of inappropriate conduct and an imposition of punishment against this student-athlete for removing himself from that kind of environment.”

I LITERALLY just put that in a response and you posted — “Haha.....Moron”

Now you agree that he is transferring because he can’t beat Fromm?!?

Put down the paint chips and step away from the keyboard:L

Here is a clue — if his reason for leaving was based on the truth — He can’t beat out Jake Fromm as the starting QB — he’d sit out a year like everyone else.

So what excuse is he using?
Haha... Moron

Here is exactly what I’m talking about. If you AGREE, his reason for leaving is he can’t beat out Fromm. Explain your response?

Unless the charity is OSU letting UM win next year — I will pass.:suds:

I bet he goes UCLA. I think that’d be a good fit for his skill set.

Being from the West Coast. The guy he’d have to beat out is the guy who was his backup in HS.
Maybe. They have a 4* true freshman (in 2018) who was higher ranked than Martell that they may want to build around. Miami makes more sense IMO.

Still can't say where you got the information about "next to no chance of being granted exemption"?

The 4 star from 2018 was the guy who was the backup QB to...........Tate Martell at Bishop Gorman.

Long story short there are two outcomes

Fields gets immediate eligiblity and Martell transfers

Fields has to sit a year and Martell is the starting QB for OSU next year.

That's it.
