For the hawk fans on this board, what's taking so long with this decision? Any word one way or the other?
Drew Ott
- Thread starter ameslurker
- Start date
No idea. Seems kind of crazy they don't have it set up to be able to come to a decision sooner. He had to go to the combine without an agent because he doesn't know his future yet. Idk what kind of ok impact that has on him but it's not ideal.
It's the NCAA and the NCAA sucks. The subcommittee that makes the decision on this met Feb. 22-23 and the thought was they'd give their decision there. Didn't happen. Great that they're so focused on the best interests of the student-athletes dragging it out like this.
Jeez, that's pretty ******. Did I read that right, he is actually waiting on an answer from the conference, not the NCAA?
Yeah, the conference goes first in these things. If the conference says no, you can appeal to the NCAA. Usually it's pretty much like the court system though, and the NCAA just says no if the conference did. The longer this gets dragged out I have to think it's probably favorable to Ott, but who knows.
As good as he is, he should just hire and agent and go pro. He would be a pretty high draft choice.
Sounds like they are waiting on the conference, but this is an appeal, not the original decision (which was denied). This would be a predecent setting case of I understand right. He basically only played 3 years.
He didn't redshirt, so without knowing details there's a decent probability that he won't graduate in May. That would suck to not get a fifth year but not have degree requirements completed.
