Statement from the NCAA: "We would love to give Justin Patton eligibility, but there was an issue with the appeal itself. On the "Appelant" line was written the words, "University of North Texas".

Am I off base? Or was this just a reading comprehension obstacle, finally beaten?

Does the NCAA have to give a reason?

Statement from the NCAA:

"We would love to give Justin Patton eligibility, but there was an issue with the appeal itself. On the "Appelant" line was written the words, "University of North Texas". We request that you fix this problem or we will be forced to deny Roger Franklin eligibiility as well. Here at the NCAA we do what is best for student athletes...unless they are students at North Texas.

Sincerely,

Douche McDouche

NCAA Appeal Chairman"

The reason is because they can. They have nothing to fear from UNT. No Alumni in high places. No huge alumni support, period. Just another small program for the NCAA to step on because we don't contribute huge money to their greedy little pocket. The anti-trust suit can't come soon enough.

Make no mistake, if there isn't a North at the beginning of our name, this thing was done a month ago and Patton is on the floor. Someone at some point should stand up to these sorry bastards.

I have zero hope of you know who obtaining his waiver, either.

The NCAA are straight **** suckers.

I really don't think I've ever been this pissed at the NCAA. There was ZERO reason for them to deny this. I thought this was a formality. I hope NT fights this, or at least takes a couple shots at the NCAA. Better that than to just bend over and take it.

So why did the compliance go on if they knew Patton was no academically eligible, somewhat surprised he was able to get accepted into UNT if he was not academically eligible unless it is course work hours.

Tap the brakes.

This sucks. But, apparently, this isn't us getting screwed over.

Still... INTERCOURSE. I was really hoping he'd play this year.

How is this not getting screwed over? Am I making something up in my mind, or does this not greatly affect recruiting for next year as well?

I know, right?

Outrageous that they might not be able to turn an academic situation around in HALF A SEMESTER.

My night sucks now. Ever since the Rangers blew the WS all I have been doing is waiting and getting excited for NT basketball. It cheered me up to think about it. Now I am off to start a night of heavy gin & tonic drinking. This might be more of a rebuilding year now for sure.

I don't think it's us getting screwed over by the NCAA if Patton didn't make his grades...

Edit: Also, Damnit.

It would be his grades from Grambling, which JJ knew before offering him a scholarship. His first semester at North Texas is not even over. It still has a little over a month left. I smell something else. I don't think Patton will ever play at NT. Just a feeling.

      I hope we lose to Temple

      This thread has some loser talk that rivals some of the legendary loser-talk threads on this board. I wanted Seth to beat UTSA even if it meant more Seth. I wanted them to win the CUSA title game even if it meant more. Do we want to win or to be right on the internet? I want them to win. I don't like mixing up Seth LIttrell's tenure and Eric Morris'. Morris, the admin, and the roster etc all made a mistake in trying to keep the good from the old and turn what was there into a winning team. Morris said he made that mistake. He had to change the entire roster. That had to wait a year. So we are essentially in year one. I've written a ton that the roster is filled with youth and underclassman. I see a lot of others have made this same point in this thread. It is true. Some of us gave money 15 years ago in the hopes of this or that but that doesn't mean you can turn a handful of freshman into AAC champions. Quinton Hammonds, Brian Nelson, Landon Sides, Wyatt Young, Mercer, even McGill are all contributors. It goes on and on. The dudes making freshman mistakes were well, freshman. The upperclassmen guys we needed to do some leading and carry things? Well Chandler Morris did that and a couple of DLmen, but a lot of others were hurt. Some just didn't produce. The foundations for next year begin in this recruiting cycle. Morris will discuss the signings on Dec 4 -- we'll know if he has some solid incoming guys. We know he can bring in talent. I like that they improved the DL for this season -- it was worse last year -- but they need more. They need more OL, too. They need more playmakers all along the defensive side. I put some of that on the last coaching staff. Seth had missed hard on defense for about 5 years. He rotated through a bunch of dudes with no luck. We had a patchwork defense with which Bennett did the best he could. The defense has been bad. Morris has made a move to change that. Whoever comes in -- I think we'll see a hire fairly quickly these next couple weeks -- will have a summer to find guys to plug in the holes -- DL, Linebacker, rush end. Is that enough? Dunno. Morris will be looking for experienced, play-making WRs I can tell you that. A Damon Ward who doesn't have the yips and can stay on the field.

      NIL alone doesn’t win. I honestly don’t know much about his coaching, but I have to think he’s pretty good. Benching your returning starter QB in favor of a redshirt freshman was a bold move, but it proved to be the correct one.

      Underrated win in my opinion. They're 3-4 but have just 1 bad loss. I say bad because I don't know much about Norfolk State. Otherwise UC Davis has the 11th ranked scorer in the country and could make some noise come conference play.

      My point is you will see more head coaches leave G5 teams for P5 coordinator gigs. In fact, I could see this happening with Morris. It used to be that a G5 head coaching posting would be more valuable to a coach and his family. I believe NIL and the portal has changed this.
