Martin will have to sit out my guess, NCAA stalling and will drop bomb last second telling Iowa you are not a blue blood so suck it again.
I personally dont see how that could be kept secret this long if that was the case, especially with him being a local boy. Also dont see the point, it's not like we play wisconsin game 1.Word on the street is its a possibility nothing is being released on purpose, and he may already be eligible. Could it be smart planning by Iowa to throw other teams curve balls, or maybe to keep the hype down and to just concentrate on football. Possibly. Likely? Probably not; I'm sure we'll know when they know.

How dare you be a reasonable Iowa fan with common sense?!Stop with this idiocy.
Plenty of transfers are being granted for non "blue bloods" and while I don't have a list, I think I've read about a couple of denials for "blue bloods".
Look, I also wish there were a bit more transparency on the decisions, but nobody has it out for Iowa.
Not being paid, maybe, not incurring the costs of everything they receive for free, yes. I’m tired of the “student-athlete’ needs rod be paid train. If they want to be able to transfer without sitting out then there should be some other type of disincentive to do so similar to your comment about coaches leaving. Either make all sit a year or make them pay back all or a portion of the scholarship money.I hope you're not being serious here? So you expect the student athlete who is not being paid, (an entirely different subject), to pay back a years scholorship? With what exactly? To whom does he make this payment? The school, who is not really effected if he stays or goes, and in many cases like Iowa doesn't pay for his scholorship anyway? The athletic dept. who had the money donated to them? Perhaps the donors then? Now that would be rich. Here Mr. Donor is the money back for John Doe's scholorship?????
Not to argue with you about that I believe the officiating crew for the Purdue game last year after Brian went off on him there was a lot of bad calls there in the second half but to your point I don't think the NCAA itself has anything out against IowaHow dare you be a reasonable Iowa fan with common sense?!
I'm totally with you. I would love for there to be more transparency but for anyone to feel Iowa is the only college coming out on the wrong end of things or at least more than other teams is ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with being passionate about your team but come up with all the excuses in the book for scenarios like this gets old.

Can the NCAA, at the very LEAST, give a timetable, what is so difficult about that? Just say "within a week/month,etc." I simply don't get it and there's a lot at play and stake here.

I'm speaking of the university itself. My understanding is that all athletic costs including scholorships are paid out of the athletic budget. I don't believe that the school itself incurs these costs. Is that not the case?Iowa doesn’t pay for scholarships? Stipends? It’s all endowed? Iowa is that well endowed?
Not trying to belabor the point, but how exactly would 90% of these kids pay back this money? Unless you're saying on a student loan scenario?Not being paid, maybe, not incurring the costs of everything they receive for free, yes. I’m tired of the “student-athlete’ needs rod be paid train.

Haha.
Curve ball.
Yeah, that's it.

Listen, I don't create the rumors. Its something I've heard in several places, including the hawkeye report podcast.
That’s the point. To slow down the number of transfers each year.Not trying to belabor the point, but how exactly would 90% of these kids pay back this money? Unless you're saying on a student loan scenario?
I get your point, but then make some more equitable rule other then the payback, which is basically an impossible scenario. I mean just make it clear and easy like others suggested, one transfer, then you stay or sit....That’s the point. To slow down the number of transfers each year.

Iowa transfer was granted immediate eligibility
He hired an attorney ~ that automatically slows the process down drastically. Those who don't hire an attorney get a quicker decision, but not always the better decision.Can the NCAA, at the very LEAST, give a timetable, what is so difficult about that?

Yea I agree I think the family was thinking they had the best chance for immediate playing time with a lawyer especially showing the lapse in judgment the NCAA has shown so far on all these transfers....He hired an attorney ~ that automatically slows the process down drastically.

Does Harbaugh/Michigan get to provide input on those who transfer out of Michigan? Is Harbaugh/Michigan black balling the kids who transfer out?
Check this out:
He was granted eligibility a couple days agoAnyone know the details in Josh Turners transfer to FIU?
I see he announced he was going there in January so we probably only have to wait about 7 more months to hear about OM.
At B1G media day Harbaugh said he has no say in it and if he did he’d let each player transfer one time without penalty.I actually think Michigan does have a say. Not sure how heavily it weighs on the process but it does factor into it.
Per the Transfer waiver review process.
1. Mitigation
2. Academics record
3. Previous schools position.
I believe the Athletic Department is a completely separate, not-for-profit entity financially. Not a shell game. And the University takes some of the AD's income. They share fund raising so that is inevitable.I was under the impression that the athletic department was part of the University. The shell game that they run accounting wise has the athletic department paying the general fund for the athletes. If the athlete leaves the general fund is out the tuition, room and board. They are connected but in different departments.
He was granted eligibility a couple days ago
Martin or Ferentz? If Martin, then I’d say that’s a good sign.Hopefully we find at something more at media day today. The school has made him available to the media today.
Correct. The athletic dept. pays tuition, room, and board to the UI for each scholarship athlete.
