Unless the SEC alters it current rules, he would have to sit a year here or at any other SEC school. The SEC isn’t going to consider changing rules until the NCAA decides on its one-time waiver policies going forward. They were supposed to have released that last month and we are already 1/3 of the way through February with no word. Who knows how long it will be before this all plays out.

If either of the UT guys want to commit to a new program soon, it likely won’t be another SEC school. Unless the waiver situation is resolved soon, I doubt we will be in it for either of them.


It is assumed (right now) that rule will pass in March/April. If/when it does, the rationale supporting doing so will be unexpected issues created by the "pandemic". With that at the backdrop, there is NO WAY the SEC wouldn't also allow in-conference transfer waivers. They may not WANT to do it. But the league would face a ton of negative PR if they didn't.

I don’t think so this year. The NCAA is supposed to be setting the permanent rules for going forward, not more exceptions for dealing with the pandemic. The SEC needs to do the same. They need to set a policy that doesn’t allow ANY in-conference waivers, no matter what, from now on. They don’t need to care what people think. No more COVID excuses.

If they don’t, I think they know that the Gilbert shitshow will be the tip of the iceberg. Situations like that will play out all over the fricking conference, every year.
