perhaps the hardship wasn't as clear to the folks making the determination?

I have no idear, but hopefully someone looked into this closely

At least on the surface, Ford's hardship is more obvious than was Fields' hardship of not getting enough PT.  They had the same lawyer.

Ford should’ve claimed someone at Georgia called him a honky and he felt unsafe at Georgia now.

Or that he’s transgender and a she now and someone made fun of her true self. 

Transfer waiver would’ve been a done deal.

As noted, Fields' sister is still at UGA running track.

Personally, I think a player who wants to transfer back home should be allowed to do it without sitting.  Same with Eason.  The bizarre nature of their decisions is going to bite them eventually.

How do you think it will bite them? 

I kind of imagine it just evolves into a looser and looser system, which considering the ease of movement for the most important pieces, ehh, it happens.

Someone might tabulate who gets to play next year by race.

If Ford wanted to play right away, he should have transferred to OSU or Michigan.

I think ultimately the NCAA didn't want to touch the Fields case because of race, and believe it or not but Patterson actually had a legitimate argument. The NCAA didn't just approve his waiver either. Every kid that transferred from Ole Miss got the waiver. There was a bunch of them, not just Patterson.

Why doesn’t the NCAA make coaches sit out who change schools while still under contract?

The NCAA has denied the waiver request of TE Luke Ford, who transferred from Georgia to Illinois.

Ford, the No. 1 player in the state of Illinois in 2018, must now sit out the 2019…

I sometimes think this comparison is a bit trite, given that it’s obviously different, money changes hands, et al.

But we know coaching changes are much more jarring than player departures. They mess with bowls, turn a lot of guys out of programs, force all sorts of resets. And plenty of coaches say the fans turn out for the school not the players (half accurate), but There’s a certain shamefulness implied with the transience.

I think things will get a good bit more fluid. Wonder how far it goes.
