QB Mallet Petitions for Immediate Eligibility at Arkansas

Why do I feel the NCAA will allow him to play next season? No way should he be able to play...but who knows with the NCAA!

ESPN - Arkansas to file waiver in hopes of ex-Michigan QB Mallett can play in '08 - College Football

We should file the exact same thing with Bo, and say he was in a system that doesn't fit his running style.

Well, its an SEC team, and they get priority over the also-rans like us. I would put down a good chunk of credits on heavy odds that favor him being "reinstated" (the NCAA's double-definition term) for the 2008 season.

If Mallet sets a precedent here it will open up the floodgates, I don't see them winning this...

Sounds like a case of sour grapes. Hey Mallet.... Life's a *****. Deal with it!

<Shocking> if they allow this.

There's no way they can allow this and set this precedent. Although this is the NCAA so.....

Precedent? In order for a precedent to exist there must also be consistent and predictable behavior patterns. As we know at ISU all to well, the NCAA is neither consistent or predictable.

They will do as they please just like they always do.

I think this is just another spoiled kid who's parents will do whatever they can for him because they think the world revolves around him. Throughout this whole process of him transferring his dad has been all over the media. This will get shot down, the dad just couldn't stand to see his son sad
