Have to give it to Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt and Q.B. Jeremiah Masoli for trying to circumvent the transfer rule; had to give it a shot, ehh fellas? Aww, so close. Look, the NCAA gets a lot of things wrong, but not this one. This rule is for players who want to leave to continue their graduate studies at a school that offers their curriculum; they didn’t write the rule so guys could loot a frat house, get busted for the chron, kicked off the team and then go play for someone else without having to sit out.

I don’t know why Mississippi is even wasting their time with the appeal; the NCAA had to bring the hammer down. If not, what’s to keep any other disgruntled player, from getting himself kicked off the team, and exploiting this loophole for a better opportunity. But my man, H Nutt isn’t buying it. He continues to bang the, he was kicked off the team but not out of school… drum: “I have players that I have dismissed. I want them to go play for somebody else. I want them to learn from their mistakes. I want them to be a better person. There’s no question in my mind, Jeremiah’s at the right place.” He’s in the right place, or he’s in the right place, if he gets to play right now? If you really are about guys learning from their mistakes, you’ll tell Masoli… you commit the crime, you do the time. Tell him to stop robbing frat boys and burning chron. Him getting over and beating the system won’t make him a better person but if will make Ole Miss a better team, I’ll give you that.
