Bryce English - 2016 status

From what I understand, the NCAA has eliminated the hardship waiver that allowed players to immediately play at the new school.  Instead, players must sit out a year, but may be granted an additional year of eligibility.

Based on the above, there is absolutely zero chance Bryce English sees the field in 2016.  I just wanted to post this because there seems to be some confusion still about his 2016 status, as evidenced in the article recently published on TexasFootball.com.

Quote

English received offers from numerous P5 programs, eventually signing with Kansas State. His stay was short in Manhattan, transferring to North Texas to redshirt in 2015. Bryce’s father played running back at North Texas, rushing for over 1,000 yards in his career. His father, Lee, is now going through medical complications and the NCAA should allow English a hardship waiver to prevent a forced year of lost eligibility. English should be able to play right away in 2016, retaining all four years of eligibility.

 

And, again, in this initial story on the MGB: Football: UNT transfer follows father’s footsteps

Quote

English spent his lone season at Kansas State as a redshirt. A UNT source said the school has yet to make a decision on if it will pursue a hardship waiver that would allow English to be eligible in his first season at UNT in 2016.

 

The above quotes are inaccurate, per the following:


NCAA.org - Council recommends transfer policy change

Quote

The Leadership Council has recommended that student-athletes who are transferring due to difficult life circumstances will have another year to complete their eligibility. This option would eliminate the ability for transfers to receive waivers to play immediately.

Sporting News - NCAA eliminates hardship waivers for transfers

Quote

The NCAA will no longer allow transfers to apply for a hardship waiver to become immediately eligible at their new school.

Tulsa had to deal with this last year: NCAA's elimination of hardship waivers devastating news for Khari Harding's family

Quote

Harding transferred from Auburn to Tulsa to be closer to his father, who is battling cancer for the second time.

So, if anyone was hoping to have Bryce English this fall (I was), you can forget about it.

I hope Bryce's father doing well in his battle against cancer.

Gang is right, however I have been told there have been exceptions.  I tend to agree with gang that the chances of this are remote. 

On the good side, he's a program changing talent and he raises the level of every player on our team.  So even if he can't play this year he is a valuable part of the program.

Yep.

And if he's ineligible this year, he's going to make Rentfro, Rice, & Henson better players while eating their lunch during practices.

Just goes to show that a lot of so called 'experts' don't really know or keep up with things.  Even our coaching staff seemed confused (or they know something we all don't know). 

When you want to know the real scoop, come to GMG.com.  There were people on here sharing reality just after the announcement.

And by exceptions you mean "if you go to a major p5 team", right? ?

There are no exceptions, even for P5s. He won't be eligible this year, but also won't lose that year of eligibility. 

The NCAA specifically made a rule directly on point to his situation. Appeal all you want, you ain't winning.

^. Having him just being in the program for an extra year even while sitting out raises the standard at North Texas. Bet your ass he will be an intricate part of UNT Football moving forward, particularly in helping to reach out during prime recruiting months.

maybe we should have made the request on stolen letter head from Ohio State or Texas?

If we were Baylor or smu, we could just give him a disguise along with Sir Calvin's jersey and hope for the best.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      Come to think of it, ESPN and the other networks who really benefit from all of this, should contribute $$ to a NIL fund and distribute equally to each schools NIL for them to use at their discretion. Wouldn't that be fair?

      Say you didn't see any SMU crowds this season, without saying you didn't see any SMU home crowds this season. That place was packed and rocking, like nobody could've dreamed.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      I mean are you saying you want to know exactly what every player is paid? My worry is you would have each of them know that number is so they can be jealous and fight about it. I think the coaches have to determine the amounts and allocations unless you are an SMU or someone who can afford to pay every player on the roster 100k a piece. If you don’t have mountains of cash you have to allocate per the coaches wish I would think. Agents come into play sadly as well I suppose.
