I am pretty sure waivers are not needed for grad transfers. What's his butt played QB his 4th year at Michigan without a waiver from Iowa because he was a grad transfer. This isn't even within the B1G.

It's his (3) Division I institution. That's where the waiver applies from my understanding

Said waiver is not needed.

understanding from who? what does his "(3) Division l institution" mean?

Only if it was something to do with Iowa and our compliance dept. NCAA does not mention number of institutions attended when setting regulations for a graduate transfer. Assuming weight is where it needs to be looks like he is set to go against Oky St.

He has enrolled at 3 D1 schools so the "waiver" is no good?

I agree but that's why he had to graduate. Once he has the degree, ISU can't block any transfer as a grad transfer.

Precisely. There are strict regulations for undergrad transfers without degrees (as there should be) & literally none for grad transfers with degrees. Again, this is why Pat was taking an insane number of online hours this past summer & fall, so he could clear that hurdle.

We will find out more in about a week. He isn’t cutting down to 184 for fun, that is for sure. Patience.

Plus he tweeted about “cutting little mama off”. Shit is getting real.

So much talk about Lee, lets look at another kid. Downey has wrestled some good kids. He has beaten Logan Storley. He won a Juco title. Goes to ISU and is a All-American. Was 7-0 last year before being dismissed. He is 24 years old wrestling some young kids. He could fill a hole at 184.

1.) What is his ceiling?
2.) Why would Iowa accept a kid who has been kicked off his team for breaking team rules and throwing Jackson under the bus?
3.) What is your reaction to having him on this team?
4.) How soon until we see him?

I’m excited to see him in an Iowa singlet. He finished his degree at ISU and supposedly got accepted to Iowa’s grad program.

As long as he abides by the rules at Iowa then I say let him rip.
