Ty Isaac waiver?

Submitted by Eskimoan on
Ok unless I missed it somehow, when will we find out about Isaac's waiver? I know we are only a week away from kickoff and I haven't heard anything. It seems we should know by now, anyone know the timetable on these things?

Some really funny material that had me smiling. Zero instances of spell checker or grahamer checker. Only 1 instance where the thread got hijacked. SEVEN DAYS!

How would they be wasted if he couldn't play in the season? The line and receivers practice runs to practice their blocking assignments--it hardly matters (it seems to me) who the RB is, if Issac was running with the ones all of camp and then couldn't play after, it wouldn't affect any of the other 10 guys. Not saying you're wrong, I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like a big deal.

I would have to scratch my head again about the NCAA.  Here, an unpaid player would be ordered to sit out a year—and potentially delay a lucrative NFL career-- as a penalty for transferring to be nearer his sick mother.  Yet, his former USC coach, Lane Kiffin, lies to recruits about his likely departures, then repeatedly changes schools at the drop of a hat, and gets paid millions.

I also have to scratch my head over some other, very different eligibility decisions by the NCAA.  Remember this?  “In 2008, before Pryor started at Ohio, questions about his eligibility were raised due to the fact that he was getting money from Sarniak, a man who accompanied Pryor on recruiting visits and who certainly exchanged money and items with Ohio boosters in his Columbus area businesses.  The NCAA ruled in favor of Pryor, saying only that Sarniak could no longer provide money, meals, tickets, presents or a cell phone to Pryor.

3 years later, Pryor was in the process of leaving Ohio and needed a reason for entering the supplemental draft—ie to prove he was NOT eligible to play at Ohio.

“Pryor met confidentially in May with the NCAA and provided financial records….Pryor had acknowledged that confidant Ted Sarniak had provided him and his mother with cash after he enrolled at Ohio State over and beyond the memorabilia scandal that created the five-game suspension. An attorney for Terrelle Pryor, seemingly inviting the NCAA to ask new questions about improper benefits, said:  Pryor .. and his mother received cash and assistance with car payments from Ted Sarniak. 

Ohio claimed ignorance of these payments even though: “Tressel said he repeatedly reached out to Sarniak over the years….and Ohio State compliance director Doug Archie stayed in regular contact with Sarniak."

If I remember correctly, the NCAA not cite this information in explaining Ohio’s penalty of a one season bowl ban.  Perhaps then questions would have arisen about the NCAA's own shoddy  review of Pryor's 2008 eligibility.  Questons would arise about how soon the payments to Pryor resumed, whether their eligibility decision was incorrect, and why they did not follow up to see if it was violated after Pryor was admitted.
