All three players have permission from the NCAA to play immediately if they transfer... This could be why their twitter posts claimed they had a hard decision. They can go to any division one school and practice/play immediately. This could pose a problem rather Mitchel stays or goes...

There is no way that's true,if so ...l prove it

I am 100 percent confident that is what Cjris told me... I may even have one of the messages sent to me saved but I will have to get on my laptop and off the iPad.... This is from his lips....

No. It would have to be a hardship waiver. Usually to be closer to home, which they really can't be any closer then NT.

Or a blanket institutional waiver for someone leaving a school under APR penalty (like Patton coming here last year from postseason ineligible Grambling).

There is absolutely no rule I'm aware of that would grant any such waiver, especially not for everyone we just so happen to be afraid of potentially bailing out if Tony leaves.

Even if someone wants to transfer because of a coach that left, they'll have to do it under NCAA rules with a sit out year (if they go to a D1).

STOP IT WITH THE G.D.'d TWITTER UPDATES!!!

You know what's worse than a bunch of 19 year-olds putting vague and cryptic messages out there? A bunch of stupid, old, white men trying to decipher them and then posting their "expert" conclusions on an internet message board...a message board already rife with angst.

Chris Jones

Yesterday

Chris Jones

Well since coach left i wouldn't have to sit out.. NCAA already gave us permission but yeah i just might

Yesterday

ah ok, I was not sure how that worked... Last I heard Mitchel is staying though and if he does Tim Mcmahon has an article on espn.com saying UNT could be a top 25 team in the nation next year (that was about a month ago)

also where would you go?

Chris Jones

Not true the new coach and unt would have to release them now while they are still considered freshman if they want to transfer without getting that release they have to sit out a year. As far as Patton he probably can play right away but why would he leave or any of them if they don't know what's gonna happen. I'm believing that they stay togather it makes more sense unless we get a true jerk of a coach

Racist. <_<

Serious question though? If Patton were to leave it would have to be for a professional league somewhere right? He does not have another year to sit on a bench somewhere, and I think the automatic eligibility thing is a big misunderstanding somewhere.

well I am just stating what I was told... I am not as "in touch" with this team as I was was the others... I have not actually played against any of the new guys... my era ends with Holmen and Alzee because I spent a little too long in college. But I used to get around at the rec and scrimmage with/against the team at times with my friend gene. I go off what I know and true I do not get around like I did a few years ago but this is what I know...

Ok, that's enough.

Here is the basic handbook on transfers:

http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/TGONLINE2011.pdf

For anyone who can't be bothered to read...There are no exceptions for a D1 to D1 transfer in men's basketball other than a hardship exemption. Unless we decide to stop sponsoring the sport of men's basketball or end up ineligible for the postseason, the rules don't go away. A coaching change not only doesn't guarantee immediate eligibility... It doesn't even guarantee a scholarship release if the school doesn't grant it. If North Texas decides not to let any scholarship athlete out of their commitment, they'll have to pay their own way during their sit year at whatever destination D1 school they choose.

Whatever any player thinks they may or may not have permission to do... Without some grounds for a hardship exemption, they will indeed have to sit out a year.

Topic locked. Don't turn this into some sort of paranoid situation with everyone freaking out over something not possible per NCAA regulations.

      This guy can coach

      The current Leadership at UNT would have never considered this guy when he was cheap enough to hire here and clear he could coach (near end of tenure at Elon or his start at James Madison). I will tell you why. 1. Not no ties to Texas or Big 12 after 1990. 2. Not a well known “Air Raid/Spread Guru” All this makes me wonder does our athletic department do after action report on football coaches that end being very successful at programs that aren’t historically successful. I think it would be extremely helpful doing that for coaches we passed on or never got on our radar but maybe should have during a HC transition. If I were hired as AD, other than a budget review, reviewing our hiring processes for Football head coaches and the “ones who got away” would be my first order of business. If Eric Morris completes his time here without winning a bowl game or conference championship and extensive review of everything we do that setups our football program to win should be reviewed.

      Speaking of…Magic Mike Norvell just fired his OC, DC and WR coach. Would we be interested in any of them?
