Kempt sixth-year ... any day now

Completely agree. And its not as if we haven't earned a break from the NCAA. I am just not a big fan of this type of 6th year waiver in the NCAA.
You are missing the point. The NCAA has granted 6th year waivers like this for players who have been run off (See Nebraska's Tanner Lee) so whether Cyclone fans have been pissed off or not in the past it has happened. Why shouldn't ISU get one of them for a change?
Its called the "run-off" rule. There is some justification for it. Research Tanner Lee, Nebraska QB.
You need to drink more of the Campbell & Co. Kool-aid.

I'm aware of the Tanner Lee case. I guess I should have phrased my comment better to read that I don't feel the run off cases are enough justification for a 6th year and not just Kempt specifically.
I don't think defensive players who make helmet to helmet contact on an offensive player who lowers his head should be subject to targeting ejection, but it happens. Just because we don't like a rule and disagree with it doesn't mean we all don't have to live by it and shouldn't accept it when it can work in our favor.
If they had said no we would know by now. I have no direct sources but I am confident Kempt is coming back
I think the opposite. They could have said no and he is appealing. If they' have said yes we would all know by now
I'd be really curious to know how in the hell they can decipher between a kid transferring for one reason while another kid is "run off"
Kempt’s Instagram post is interesting. Caption says “18 X 17”. Sixth year confirmed?

I can't quite figure out what "18 X 17" means. I must be missing something! How about 2018 for #17 Kyle Kempt?
I can't think of a better to extend a 6th year than on a kid who dominated @#2 the first time he was ever allowed on the field. Clearly some people missed in evaluating his value. He had the #17 QBR in all of college football and only played one bad team.
How often does a player rank #17 in the nation at QB and never gets a snap until he has a half season of eligibility left? And he's a great person and great student.
which is how many days til the Big 12 championship. 6th year confirmed.
If Mayfield was given another year, I might question the logic., but Kempt is pretty far from a all conference QB. I think most opposing fans would be pretty fine with it.
It’s a photo of him (#17) and Butler (#18). Read into it what you’d like.
