Why in the hell is ole miss contesting Patterson being able to play this year :picard:

Ole Miss has to disagree per article posted on SBNation.

“It has to do with a future neutral-site football game.

Via a Freedom Of Information Act request, SB Nation acquired Ole Miss’ game agreements for the 2016 Camping World Classic against Florida State, the 2020 AdvoCare Texas Kickoff against Baylor, and the 2021 Chick-fil-A Kickoff Classic against Louisville. Tucked into the contract for the 2020 game is this clause (emphasis ours):

If the School is placed under conference or NCAA sanctions so that that value of the Event is materially decreased as determined by [ESPN Regional Television] (e.g. sanctions that allow for immediate transfer of football student athletes or a television/distribution media ban), then ERT and the School shall mutually agree upon a reduction of the Fee (or termination of this agreement), as appropriate.

ESPN Events (ESPN Regional Television, at the time this agreement was signed) is a subsidiary of ESPN that operates games like the AdvoCare and Camping World kickoffs, as well as bowl games and college basketball events. Other groups run other neutral-site games, such as Peach Bowl, Inc.’s Chick-fil-A Kickoff.”

This could cost Ole Miss MILLIONS Of DOLLARS

Is the problem that Patterson is saying they lied to him about incoming sanctions?

Patterson AND the other 5 dudes that transferred. The lawyer that represents the players also represented Houston Nutt when he won his case against Ole Piss. It’s looking like it’s just a matter of time before they’re cleared to play this fall.

WHO?

NICK BAUMGARDNER, DETROIT FREE PRESS
Michigan needs a third running back.


The top two spots are occupied by players who should surprise no one, as senior Karan Higdon and junior Chris Evans combined to rush for more than 1,600 yards and 17 touchdowns last season.

The third spot, however, is wide open.

And through spring practice, the guy who took the most ownership of that spot may surprise you.

"The best were Chris Evans, Karan Higdon and Tru Wilson. Those three really did well," Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said Sunday.

More Wolverines:

Michigan football running backs must find depth, pass protect better

Michigan's Jim Harbaugh unsure if he'll name an OC this year

Harbaugh said the overall hierarchy right now, if there was one, would be Evans and Higdon as co-No. 1 runners with Wilson No. 3. He then mentioned walk-on Joe Hewlett and sophomore O'Maury Samuels as players who would round out his post-spring depth chart. Harbaugh added that Samuels had been slowed by an injury in spring camp.

Michigan lists scholarship junior Kareem Walker and scholarship redshirt freshman Kurt Taylor on its roster, though Harbaugh made no mention of either in his conversation about backs this weekend.


The Wolverines also will bring in true freshmen Christian Turner and Hassan Haskins later this summer. Turner was one of Michigan's longest tenured commitments in the 2018 class, as Harbaugh and company took his commitment back in April of last year. He had offers from Wisconsin, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Michigan State, Nebraska, Miami and a host of others.

At least Gary panning out can help keep the NJ run going. Still got Singleton too. I’m writing off Walker
