"Sources informed the Michigan Insider this afternoon that Ole Miss filed its latest response with the NCAA yesterday. And while the initial objection was not rescinded, no additional objection was issued.
“They said (Patterson’s reply to the questions) didn’t ‘differ materially from the first submission,’ and because of that they had nothing additional to add,” said a source that has reviewed the Ole Miss letter. “They worded it in a way that could be interpreted as them maintaining their prior stance, but it definitely came across as a white flag of sorts. They said, ‘the University would not oppose immediate eligibility for Shea Patterson based on legitimate grounds.’ That they didn’t further argue the illegitimacy of Shea’s grounds by specifically addressing his response should be seen as a concession.”
Whether the NCAA sees it that way remains to be seen. There is still no word on a when a decision will be rendered."
So it's not official he can play. But it's a good step towards it being so.
umbig11 is a real insider and he thinks you're an assclown.
I'm surprised the mods haven't banned you yet.
Yup. Once again you've slipped up and outed yourself.
All the evidence points to eligibility, but never count on the NCAA never to f something up.
"It doesn't seem fair to me that the only thing standing in the way of Coach Freeze making $5 million a year at another school was the discovery that he wasn't the trustworthy, straight-laced role model that he claimed to be." -- Shea Patterson
I'd like to be optimistic, but this feels like nothing more than Ole Miss sticking to their guns. If anything, I'd have sort of hoped Patterson et al had submitted information that would have forced the Rebels to change their argument. I still feel like he's likely to be cleared to play, but the NCAA is a terrible institution and I could 100% see them siding with the bad guys for some insanely dumb reason.
The politics of "screw Ole Miss" are always allowed.
Edit: I see you were referring to a particular line of discourse further down, and I wholeheartedly agree.
How is anybody interpreting this as "good". I mean, it's not bad.
But it's basically.
Michigan/Shea: Claim A
Ole Miss: Response to claim A
Michigan/Shea: Claim A reworded
Ole Miss: They just reworded claim "A" so since we've already responded to that we have no further response.
Nothing about that sounds "positive" to me. Again, not negative, but nothing to get excited over.

It is hard for Ole Miss to make up new lies because, when you have told so many already, there are almost no other ones to tell..
