I’m going to take it a step further…Presidents/Chancellors need to truly understand how athletic departments work, and provide said resources. You cannot operate a Division I program with one person in compliance or academics; you’re bound to fail with this model/approach. https://t.co/8j0nvKF8dZ

Attorney Tom Mars tells ESPN that he’s optimistic about the eligibility cases of FAMU starters Isaiah Land and Cam Covin. He expects some resolution “very soon” in their requests for reconsideration of their eligibility. He’s appreciative of FAMU bringing in outside council.

This specific authority to grant waivers under extraordinary circumstances was never mentioned in the waiver requests submitted by FAMU for Isaiah Land or Cameron Covin. If more than 20 players being declared ineligible isn’t “extraordinary circumstances,” what is?

Coach Willie Simmons | When dark clouds gather on the horizon ...
FAMU coach Willie Simmons tells ESPN that the Rattlers are down to 17 ineligible players -- from 26 last weekend -- for their game with Jackson State. The team is on the bus from Tallahassee to Miami currently. There's hope that some of those 17 can get cleared and make the trip.
— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) August 31, 2022
He said a "vast majority" of the eligibility issues were of a clerical nature -- changes of majors or grades that didn't show up in the system. He's hoping more can be addressed in the upcoming days.
