OCs_Inner_Eagle {l Wrote}:Manny {l Wrote}:HJS {l Wrote}:Patterson has the excuse of the Ole Miss program imploding. Fields pulled the race card by claiming some anonymous posters posted racist things on the inter web (some of which may have been planted by friends and family to facilitate the exit). Even the Tate Martell thing is different. There was a change at head coach at OSU from Urban to HCRD. That was the argument Martell used. Jurkovec can only argue that his OC has changed. Don’t think it’ll be a winner.
There was also the UGA baseball player who got expelled after calling him the N-word a bunch of times (published news) and the handful of said baseball player's teammates who harassed him for a while afterward (rumor from local people). But sure, make up some bullshit to make a 19-year-old look like the bad guy for wanting to play football somewhere else.
I’ve been saying elsewhere that I think Jurkovec’s people are going to produce documentary evidence that the coaches wouldn’t give him a fair shake, & that their treatment of him was poor enough to warrant the waiver based on the NCAA’s guidelines.

This. There is ample evidence that the purple-faced, shanty-Irish, Saint A’s jackass and his boy toy Tommy Rees did Jurkovec dirty. The NCAA will not want to litigate it. I have no information from BC sources, but ND sources who should know are telling me they think the waiver is fait accompli.
