2023/2024 Coaches Show

If he had already dropped out of classes when we were recruiting him .. that's bad on him and also bad on the coaches.

If he dropped out after and didn't tell the staff ... I'm not sure why he's still on the team. That's not the type of player that should be here.

All kinds of blame here to go around. Bijan himself, whomever was advising him personally, our staff and department for not verifying whatever was told to them and even OU on a courtesy level for not warning us we were buying oceanfront property in Oklahoma because we didn’t perform our due diligence.

One key here is whether he was still eligible to drop Spring classes and still get a W. If he was in that window, maybe we tried to get OU to change the grade from F to W which would’ve solved a lot (and they said thanks but no).

When I was told that he probably would be eligible because he passed the requisite class, it was all supposed to be a formality at that point. So somewhere, somebody missed something within our ranks, even if they were given a different story. In the words of my buddy Ronnie Reagan: “Trust but verify”.

Interesting .. so do we get Degray for 14 days?

[SubGod22]

Does this mean DeGray can play immediately for at least the next two weeks?

Does it really impact Cortes since his was academic in nature?

I pulled this out into a new thread, but seems to only affect Degray. The way it reads, he should be eligible to play for at least the next 2 weeks

I understand Degray is a multi school transfer and his last stop was Missouri before coming here. Does anyone know where he was before Missouri?

Of course he did, he was being tormented by his peers and classmates for entering the portal (which he did due to verbal abuse by coaches) which caused tremendous mental hardship. If you, the NCAA, can't see that for what it is, we'll likely need to take this to court -- which we don't want to do, but what choice are you giving us if you don't sign the waiver ignoring your very own mental hardship rules?

Wait...is this true??? First I have heard, and if so, makes me furious at Mosier and his group.....

It would be if I was his lawyer!!!

that terminology gets tossed around pretty freely. They all have mental health issues when they aren't playing as much as they thought, or the practices are too hard, or school is too demanding. I have a kid in college and she's called me crying multiple times about being stressed out. Most of the kids just need someone to talk to and keep their heads in the game. Growing up can be hard.

My son called home his freshman year saying it was too hard. He wanted to come home. He was attending a small 2 year liberal arts collage in the north Georgia mountains. When he graduated from Georgia Collage & State collage with his 1st 4 year degree, my wife framed a pen & ink of the school he went his freshman year with that email tape to the back. (Heree is a pic of the college he attended as a freshman.

So, DeGray can play for two weeks and blow up an entire year of eligibility?

Yes - he can play
no - he won't lose eligibility if they reverse it in 2 weeks

WV AG is saying the full-year of eligibility is against the courts order. I feel like this is another opportunity for an NCAA L in court.

Since we are only in a 14 day TRO .. will we get the courts to actually SAY that before the 14 day TRO is up anyways though.

It definitely is. They should threaten a class action lawsuit post haste.
