McCord

Extra legal help. Interesting, I think that's the first I am hearing that in this thread though I am sure it was brought up elsewhere. That is interesting to know. Extra legal help, went to Ohio state for support and received it. It won't be from a lack of effort by the AD if this doesn't happen.
 
If McCord gets another year, he’s positioned to help his draft stock tremendously. Top 10 in Heisman voting, ACC record, good bowl showing, he’d be one of the hottest QBs in CFB going into next year. If he performs well with that schedule next year, skies the limit.
 
I saw some debate from some OSU fans on one of their boards from earlier in the season discussing McCord's performance after one of our wins and a number of them basically said that he was performing much better at Cuse and doing things everyone wanted him to do at OSU but that he didn't do (better reads/progressions and stepping up in the pocket more often and getting the ball out faster, etc.)

People blamed their QB coach (Dennis) for not developing Kyle properly for their offense and Dennis was replaced when they brought Chip Kelly in as OC/QB coach after McCord left (so maybe something to that.)

Takeaway: He was a better fit for our offense and probably position-coached better for it here.

I agree with this takeaway. I also think that the Ryan Day changing the OC after the season points to more than just the QB coach. Brian Hartline remains on staff now as the Buckeye wide receivers' coach instead of the OC, and coaching wide receivers is Hartline's background.

And the idea that McCord is the reason the Buckeyes lost to Michigan last season in the Big House is just crazy. Jim Harbaugh was suspended for that game reportedly in large part due to B1G coaches complaining to the B1G commissioner, and it has been reported/speculated that Ryan Day was one of those coaches and if that is true then Day likely carried the most weight. Losing to Michigan without Harbaugh was a really bad look for Day, and I think he felt a lot of pressure to make changes.

Right now I agree with Nick Saban about the Buckeyes when he says if the Buckeyes prepare the right way they have all that it takes to win the championship. Looking good so far today.

From Chat GPT
In the NCAA, student-athletes are typically granted five calendar years to complete four seasons of competition, with the possibility of a redshirt year to extend eligibility. If a coach inadvertently uses a player’s redshirt year, the athlete may seek an “Extension of Eligibility” waiver to regain the lost season.





To qualify for this waiver, the athlete must demonstrate that circumstances beyond their control, such as administrative errors or miscommunication, led to the unintended use of their redshirt year. The NCAA evaluates these requests on a case-by-case basis, considering factors like the nature of the error and its impact on the athlete’s eligibility.





For instance, if a player was mistakenly designated as a redshirt due to a coach’s error and this misclassification resulted in the loss of a season of competition, the athlete could apply for an extension of eligibility. The NCAA would review the specifics of the situation to determine if the waiver is warranted.





It’s important to note that the NCAA has specific guidelines and deadlines for submitting such waiver requests. Athletes and their institutions should act promptly to gather necessary documentation and submit the application within the required timeframe.





For personalized guidance, consulting with professionals experienced in NCAA waivers and appeals can be beneficial. Services like Informed Athlete offer consultations to help determine the best course of action based on individual circumstances.





In summary, if a coach’s mistake leads to the unintended use of a redshirt year, the affected athlete may pursue an Extension of Eligibility waiver by demonstrating that the error was beyond their control and adhering to NCAA procedures for such requests.
 
Let’s just all respond with our usual nonsense until we reach 100 quickly. I will start.. blah blah blah blah blah

What is this actually quoting? Sorry, but AI models are generally pulling from the entire internet, which includes people that are posting in fan blogs and chat sites. Can't be trusted whatsoever.

Could just go read the NCAA rulebook.
 
It’s mentioned in this interview that there’s a section of NCAA rules that has an exception for when coaches blow a year for a player (as Ohio State did) but those coaches didn’t know they were blowing the year of eligibility. Which might be why Ohio State included a statement with Kyles application/appeal for another year.

Seems like an important exception and haven’t seen it listed here (and I’m not reading NCAA rules to verify it)


I can read that stuff. It's a 431 page document here: https://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/D125.pdf

Relevant clause is 12.8.6.1, "Coach's Documented Misunderstanding," on page 64:
Coach's Documented Misunderstanding said:
The student-athlete participated as a result of good faith, reliance on a coaching staff member's decision to put the student-athlete in an alumni contest, exhibition contests, scrimmages, or nonchampionship segment contests based on the coach's documented misunderstanding of NCAA legislation and the competition occurred under the following conditions: (Adopted: 10/28/04, Revised: 8/4/05, 7/31/14, 6/30/22 effective 8/1/22 for injuries and illnesses occurring on or after 8/1/22)

(a) The competition occurred while the student-athlete was representing an NCAA institution;

(b) The competition occurred prior to the completion of the first 20 percent of the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship in that sport; and

(c) The student-athlete did not compete in more than two events or 10 percent (whichever number is greater) of the maximum number of contests or dates of competition of the playing season that concludes with the NCAA championship as set forth in Bylaw 17 for the applicable sport plus one contest or date of competition. All competition against outside participants that triggers the use of a season of competition shall be countable under this limitation in determining the number of events in which the student-athlete participated.

IMO (c) does not appear to be met in a literal sense, but that part also seems to contradict football's 4-game exception (rule 12.8.3.1.6 on page 58), and one would think ambiguity there goes against the folks that wrote it.

If it's true that Day signed off and it was for this, IMO it should be granted. But who knows.
