And we know how this appeal will go.

unless we can borrow some letter head from UT it won't happen.  The rules only apply to the little people.

Remember there is a new AD pressing the case.

There is absolutely no chance of this happening for a G5 program, especially UNT. I find it humorous (maybe even naive?) that they even bothered to submit the waiver or even report it in the news.  The NCAA rulings on these cases are so ridiculously and obviously biased. I can't believe that the group of G5 schools have not organized a lawsuit against the NCAA to stop this practice that only serves to protect the P5 and is extremely unfair to the athletes.

New AD from P5. Maybe he differs in opinion. Why not go for it.

Any reason we have to wait till the last minute to send this to them? Or the window only available for the last minute stuff??

We won an appeal for a ladies b-ball player to start (Grace Goodhart).   Maybe we can get Keith going early?

We all know how these things play out.

An almost identical situation did happen for UT back in 09-10 with the transfer of Jeronne Maymon. He transferred at the end of the fall 2009 semester to UT, had to sit out that spring and fall 2010 before being deemed eligible in spring 2011. 

If this appeal isn't won, it's not like it's just because we are not in a power conference. There is precedent of him needing to sit out two semesters, even at the big conferences.

Wow, nice optimism folks! Especially surprised at those who say we shouldn't even try.
