Jalen Hurts

What does that mean? I never heard that the transfer portal did away with the requirement to sit out a year absent graduation.

Because with the new portal came all kind of loop holes for hardships and coaches can no longer not grant a players release

Granting release does nothing to obviate the required one year sit out. Also not sure or aware of any changes which create any "loop holes" or the standard for Exemption as a result of "hardship." What do,you know specifically that has changed other that having a portal to list yourself for transfer or for coaches looking for a transfer to search?

If I’m going to dream it won’t be about a UL booster paying Jalen’s Dad 300k for him to come here. Personally I am dreaming about owning a ski in/ski out home in Vail.

So there is a chance Hurts will play for the Cajuns.

All this said is that Patterson agreed to remove all the salacious allegations if Oole Miss joined into the request and that the request would be based upon Ole Miss being subject to NCAA violations and sanctions. The request for exemption has always had a good chance of being granted when the school the athlete was leaving was subject to NCAA sanctions and probations. That's no new loophole or ground for hardship exemption grant.

Now, a waiver could be granted if the following conditions were met:

The transfer is due to documented mitigating circumstances that are outside the student-athlete’s control and directly impact the health, safety and well-being of the student-athlete;


b. At the time of transfer to the certifying institution, the student-athlete would have been athletically and academically eligible and in good standing on the team had he or she remained at the previous institution;

c. The certifying institution must certify that the student-athlete meets percentage-of-degree requirements

Aka a player with a good lawyer can get a hardship pretty easy

Not true. Ole Miss was in huge trouble and subject to sanctions including no post season play and limited scholarships. It is Ole Miss' faux paws that made Petterson' request have the better chance of being granted. I can assure you that absent school trouble with the NCAA, it remains hard to get and will remain hard to get or there will be a flood of these requests to the NCAA every year.

We shall see i think this is pandora's box

I would like to see a similar portal for recruiting.

Coaches would only be allowed to make binding offers via the portal, athletes could only provide commitments via the portal until signing day. An athlete would only have three opportunities to de- commit. After the third decommitment, the athlete should forfeit a year of eligibility.

This would provide full transparency. No more of this verbal bull crap. It would also hold coaches feet to the fire. I seen kids get screwed late in the process.

I like full transparency with the NCAA. Don't trust them at all!

No more ridiculous than marlin reaching the NCAA tournament
