OU transfer Baker Mayfield not eligible

[starbigd]

NCAA rules he can't play next year.





See, this is why NOBODY likes the NCAA......he wasn't even on scholarship at Texas Tech, so WHY would he be denied the right to play immediately? This makes NO SENSE whatsoever......especially if they let DGB play immediately.

If DGB is ruled eligible, nobody should ever have to sit out a year again.

Don't blame Texas, blame Tech.

I hope they let him play, for the kid's sake. He walked on at Texas Tech, then left after Kliff started playing the other freshman, and Kliff's routine probably wore thin with Mayfield.


Hope he gets to play, also hope he doesn't end up beating us at some point.

How the fuck can a known woman beater and drug dealer possibly be eligible to play immediately after transferring b/c his former coach kicked him off the team but this Mayfield kid won't be eligible? The NCAA has gone full retard.

DGB isn't going to play this season. NCAA just hasn't ruled. They are letting him practice and before the season starts the NCAA will say NO.

 

[Pariah]

That is some bullshit.

Baker hired Johnny Ratclaws' lawyer.

Might get interesting?

Walk on should be allowed to play.

I don't think Luke Del Rio is going to have to sit out before playing at Oregon St this year. He walked on to Alabama despite other offers. It would be screwed up to take a year away from these guys.

I hope there isn't any need for him to play this fall...

 

[starbigd]

It's still BS that he has to deal with all this to begin with. He was never on any scholly so what rule are they using to declare him ineligible for next season???

 

[charlie42s]

Mayfield should be eligible to play.

 

[it'sHuskers4me]

If it makes no sense, then it's more then likely a NCAA rule...

 

[HizzleRocker]

This kid should get to play. DGB - No. But this kid should.

Id like to know what rule they're using to seem him ineligible.

 

[Shanemansj13]

It adds depth if he can play, but you really think he would start over Knight anyway.

Nope. But if Knight goes down and we don't have him we are in big trouble. If he can play he's a big time safety net.

FIFY

Rarely do any of their rulings on eligibility ever make sense.
