...jeez, we finally told you about Devin's redshirt and NOW you want to know about Ty's waiver?
August 23rd, 2014 at 8:00 PM ^
August 23rd, 2014 at 3:37 PM ^
...any day now.
But yes, get ready for the snarky comments. Just like the Devin Gardner "did he get his redshirt?" questions or requests for the updates on Stonum's status.
August 23rd, 2014 at 3:40 PM ^
I'm expecting the comments but after hearing about DGB I figured we should hear something soon

but that would be in poor taste
August 24th, 2014 at 10:51 PM ^
As a Christian, I laughed my head of at this. Your taste isn't that bad. Jesus is more alive than the Roman Empire is nowadays anyway.

WOTS is that Hoke revealed at the UM Club of Ann Arbor luncheon this week that the waiver had been denied, and the appeal has been filed.
Disclaimer: I was not there, so take it fwiw.
Edit: Sam Webb has all but confirmed this on GBW.
August 23rd, 2014 at 4:57 PM ^
I was at the luncheon, and yes this is what Hoke shared.
August 23rd, 2014 at 5:01 PM ^
Hoke was on the radio yesterday and used the word "appeal"—seemed like a public confirmation that the original filing had been denied:
Deepest competition on your club: "The running back position. There's really competition daily there with Derrick Green and De'Veon Smith. ... Ty Isaac's a guy who is here in the program, we're waiting on an appeal for his waiver to see if he'll be eligible or not."

Unfortunately Mark Emmert just doesn't get paid enough to be expected to turn things like this around in a reasonable time frame.

Whoever posted the above is spot on. If the posters of such topics know so much about Michigan athletics, college sports/politics that they criticize an individual seeking information about a situation that is potentially very relevant to Michigan on the field, I would think that there would be less posting about those topics cited by pearlw.
Let the entertainment continue!!!
August 23rd, 2014 at 4:08 PM ^
Snarky answers aside, the latest rumor is that it was denied.
August 23rd, 2014 at 5:05 PM ^
August 23rd, 2014 at 5:19 PM ^
There's even MEGABUS as a last resort.
August 24th, 2014 at 2:24 PM ^
not to deviate from the preplanned route.
August 23rd, 2014 at 5:57 PM ^
he would have to transfer to a school within a designated radius of his home to recieve the waiver. Michigan is significantly outside of that radius and thus he can't play, despite being significantly closer to his mother than he was at USC. It sucks, sure, but if we want the NCAA to remove subjectivity from its evaluations and be consistent, this is what consistency hopefully looks like.
August 23rd, 2014 at 8:41 PM ^
Whether it's excessive or not is irrelevant. the rule states that the new school has to be within 100 miles from home (I believe that's the number...it may be even closer). Since they are in Chicago a number of schools fit that requirement, but AA is over 250 and therefore does not. It's pretty cut and dry really and while there's no reason not to appeal just in case, I wouldn't hold my breath. They're pretty black and white with this kind of stuff. 110 miles? Sure. 2.5x the rule? No way.
So we just have to hope that DG truly has gotten some speed back and is capabable of getting beyond the LOS in less than 3 seconds unlike last year.
August 23rd, 2014 at 10:19 PM ^
It's a guideline. Well really it's not even a guideline, it's just sort of what they've done in the past more than half the time and have already said it won't be what they'll be doing next season. The NCAA can do whatever they wish with this and will. Just let us not give them some kind of cover that this is cut and dried - because it's not.
August 24th, 2014 at 10:05 AM ^
If you are going to assert you know the answer to the hows and whys of NCAA decisions, and play the rule card, I would think you would at least cite the "rule".
My educated guess is that you cannot, but that you gleaned this information from some sportswriter who is similarly clueless about the applicability, enforceabilility, and procedural nuances of the NCAA's hammer.
NCAA is not "black and white" with much. In fact, if you sent a black sheet of paper and white sheet of paper to 50 NCAA employees/independent contractors, you would likely get only 50% of them to agree on which sheet was black and which was white, and the half that was right would be owing to random chance.
I would think the intent of the rule, regulation, or whatever they are calling it today, MIGHT fit Isaac's situation, so it is far from black and white IMHO.

is this one of the greatest pic's i've ever seen..
August 23rd, 2014 at 4:22 PM ^
Since this has been snarked to death, I'll drop a topic change..
Anyone else get their Tshirt and signed HTTV today?

Hold on - I'll ask my dog and get back with ya.
She is an all knowing Dachshund. I bet she heard weeks ago?
August 24th, 2014 at 3:54 AM ^
I have a dachshund who ate her own poop this morning (not a first) so I interpret that to mean no TA waiver, legal trouble for a former UM defensive player, and Dave Brandon approves a giant mobile helmet Mascot. 60% of the time it works every time.

Perhaps these episodes of pica are related to a recurring immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. Do you see any jaundice? A CBC will give you your answer. Feel free to read up on this condition at the non-fiction section of your favorite library.
