Not questioning just...interesting. It's a lot easier to transfer in 2 years of JUCO vs being a 5th year player trying to transfer in essentially an entire degree and "meet" the progress towards completion for a 2nd year vs 5th year player 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can he be acceptable now when he wasn't last week , at AU or Florida? Am I missing something obvious? Wouldn't be the first time for that...😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDE_OxPx_2010 5,324 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 He should really try to graduate and leave instead of transfer. If he's been there that long he's probably closer to graduation than being able to transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe sprained neck or Concussion? The way they report concussions nowadays, you figure that would have been said. Guess I am thinking of NFL where they must report things.

Play your last year of eligibility and go pro. Ask for an additional $100k of NIL money to be set aside to complete your degree when done messing around in the pros. You can even go back to CC to finish that degree someday. Just get him in the school some how. Seems it could work if the academics/education part wasn’t in the way somehow.

He can't start over on a new major. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone must have done that in the past to circumvent the rules to have a specific rule like that, because a regular student can take as long as they want and change majors twenty times over, as long as the tuition keep rolling in.

AEAugirl 9,635 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Yep at the senior level which he should be entering you have to show 80% (if I remember correct) course completion towards your degree to be eligible for athletics. He could start over but he’d be sitting on the bench while he played catch up academically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowebb11 9,462 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 (edited) The whole academic side of things are a mess. One day you’re reading about players finishing their degree in 3 years while playing football. But they’re increasingly playing alongside 6th or 7th year seniors. If you’ve been in college for 6 or 7 years going year round like they all do now, what are you working on? Doctoral degree? Law school?

Lots of them are in grad school at that point but redshirt years can help offset the degree progress thing if I'm not mistaken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedaler 1,001 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I wonder how many credits he has to make up to transition to an AU major? Find the major that best translates, and let him bust academic butt during the spring and summer semesters to be eligible to play in the fall. That gets you spring practice also. We obviously have the spots on the roster to try it if it is mathematically possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the start of fall camp? If so, then yeah it might be possible for him to find some random major that could take say....80% of his credits. Then his has a semester and two mini-semesters to make up the gap. Seems like it's always been a hard yes/no. Not "let's see if we can get him there by fall". Would be a nice bend of the rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWALA Tiger 3,535 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Danny Hugh has got to do a thorough analysis of his QB room as it stands now. Can he win with Ashford or Gernier this year? If he gets a transfer w multiple yrs eligibility, he runs the risk of Ashford or Gernier transferring.
