Cam’s petition for an extra year eligibility denied by NCAA

Miami Hurricanes football player coming back for his 9th season. No idea how he pulled that off.
 
What are all these exceptions people keep mentioning? Every one mentioned so far has not been applicable to Cam's situation. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't find a single case of someone getting 2 waivers for the same season

I can really see Cam becoming a Head Coach somewhere in the future. He has that crazy Hurley temperament.

i can’t take anyone seriously that says 5 games counts as a full season, that’s like 2 weeks of basketball. If you wanna argue he shouldn’t get a 6th year cause he’s too old or something, fine. But it seems disingenuous to suggest he got the same opportunity as everyone else that was given 5 full years of playing time.

Based on the fact that a court just ruled that the NCAA really doesn't have any ability to police or punish it's members, Spencer should just say "screw you" to the NCAA and play.

I think you'd get unanimous agreement on that, plenty of people have called for the NCAA to change the redshirt rule, or even follow the football model and allow players to play games and still redshirt.

But that's a moot point, because it's not the rule now, and you get one redshirt year to use per season

The NCAAs redshirt rules are horrendously stupid, especially when you consider that the vast majority of athletes aren't high-major football or basketball players.

So the issue is redshirt rules. I can live with that. Still don't understand why the injury a year later would make a difference though--it doesn't.

The way I understand it (and I could be over simplifying it) is that the 20-21 season doesn't count towards your eligibility if you were a student athlete. So in theory, if Cam got hurt in '22 he could've put in for a redshirt, since that season does count against his 4 years of eligibility.

The NCAA does allow players to play games and still redshirt.

In his sixth season of college basketball, Clayton attended the University of Hartford as a graduate student, but only was able to play in two games because of yet another injury, buying him a seventh year of eligibility. For his seventh season, as a grad student at Cal, DeJuan Clayton was limited to just nine games due to a hamstring injury and bouts of vertigo. Now, he’s done, right? All of his eligibility was used up, right? Nope. For the 2023-24 academic year, Clayton enrolled at Manhattan University and reached out to the NCAA for a waiver that would grant him an eighth year of eligibility to play college basketball.
 
The NCAA committee members are jealous gods. They dont want to see a UConn ThreePeat!!

If Cam played at a SEC/Big 10 school with buckets of FB money.. The university might be able get the NCAA to show some creativity with an extra year-as they have done in the past. Not gonna happen in Storrs.

Pretty cool that Cam wanted to run it back next year.

Those are medical redshirts. In college football you don't need a season ending injury, you can just play 4 games and then take a redshirt year
 
He’d be 25 come tourney time, that’s a little ridiculous. Let it go, enjoy the rest of this season.

Have Danny find the next mid-major senior who's looking to transfer that can knock down threes let him go try to play in Europe. The extracurricular stuff is kinda of nauseating lets play basketball not run your mouth at any opponent who will engage and he gets cooked on defense most games

Go back in your hole. You’re reading a little too many of Dogdeacons posts I see:eek:

Probably the same way Vance Jackson gets to transfer to Alabama A&M next season.

Y'all are trying so hard to justify this, and it just isn't working. He wasn't eligible for a medical redshirt. It wasn't a season-ending injury. I don't understand why it's so hard to get.

Is it a dumb rule? Yes. Is it still the rule? Also yes.

Who is "ya'll"?

Read my two posts in this thread and show me where I said he deserves another season.

gKilla Cam is #2 behind Nadav Henefeld...though I would understand if our fanbase is generationally split between the two of them.

Wasn't Henefield (an Israeli veteran) and that guy we had from Torrington ( 4 years in military) around 27 yrs old when they played for us?

He was a 21 yo freshman. Because he was older, he would have had 3 years of eligibility instead of 4 (if he stuck around) - which was also true of Sheffer. He was a freshman in 1993-94 and a senior in 1995-96.

Wasn’t Greg Odon 48 years old when he played at Ohio State? Bro had more gray hairs than a president at the end of term.
