They should just make the rule that you get to transfer once if you haven't played more than X amount of games after 2 years.

Yeah idc, give him the waiver. I hope he plays well and makes some noise in the ACC.

Get plenty of tape on him in case he's still at BC in '22 lol.

With us playing BC this year, might change whether we will grant it or not. I’m interested to see what we do.

RUMOR: Brian Kelly is pleading with the NCAA to prevent Phil Jurkovec from playing this year. Kelly allegedly claims that Jurkovec shouldn't be able to transfer and play against his former team in the same calendar year. Some say this is the reason Phil's waiver request has been processing longer than any other NCAA athletes'

Yeah, no sympathy. You know the rules when you transfer, and transferring to a rival we play this year? Forget it. Somehow I think intimidation is the wrong tactic here, but I wouldn't be worried about playing Phil if he couldn't unseat Book to begin with.

I’m not worried about playing against PJ, I don’t believe these kids should just have free reign to transfer when and where they would like, but damn if I’m not confused how these immediate eligibility waivers get sorted out? It’s a completely arbitrary system where those who lie and complain win out over those who, in some cases, deserve it more.

He did ND a favor with that little stunt. I say let him play and see how that motivates his former teammates to remove his limbs from his torso.

Also lol at the word 'pleading.' Paints a picture in everyone's head of purple faced BK afraid of going against Cam Newton reincarnated.

Honestly, I'm not nervous. Kyle Hamilton picked him off like 7 times a day last fall camp. Let him play by all means.

I'm going with the assumption he finds a way to play. When it would work in our favor, like Gilman transferring in? No, not allowed. When it's the opposite? Grandma is dying and he suddenly develops autism, let the guy play.

Anyone want to go into detail of who/what this scrub account is talking about?

Easy now, that's a fellow board member (not named Crusader)

He could be talking about any number of ND analysts or fans on social media / message boards.

I figured it might be. So we shall get an explanation then, excellent.

He mentions the QB room so belief is that it's a member of the team.

No info but seeing how seniority and egos tend to flow down in cfb, I wouldnt have to stretch to imagine there was some energy coming from the older QB who some fans were calling to be replaced by Jurk last year.

Am I the only one that thinks its kind of a cool picture? I actually thought it was a depiction of him in BKs "doghouse" and there could be some others in there with him like Austin, Dexter etc.
If it is in relation to BK apposing his eligibility to play surely he could play but not against ND as often happens with soccer transfers as I understand it.

I think Book made a cryptic and public social media comment when Phil transferred.

Pure petulance. Was rooting for him, not anymore.

BK is pretty savvy PR-wise. I’d be surprised if he was “working behind the scenes” to prevent PJ from being immediately eligible. Even though ND could make the case that it doesn’t fall under the rules as being a case where immediate eligibility is granted, it makes ND look bad.

I would be curious to know what case PJ & BC makes to support their insistence that he be immediately eligible w/o taking the required one season off after transfer. If it’s an indictment against ND then ND should be able to tell their side of the story to the NCAA...IMO.

Bottom line, if he gets immediate eligibility, then they need to go ahead and remove the one year waiver process and grant everyone immediate eligibility moving forward. Again, that’s assuming I’m not missing a key component of this saga b/c he’s not a grad-transfer & ND gave him opp to win the position.

Even if BK is trying to hold it up, he isn't doing what any HC would do in this situation. If PJ gets the waiver suit his ass up. The only longer wind up I have ever seen is Luis Tiant's when he was pitching for the Red Sox in the 70's.

After posting that picture I hope PJ can play this year and Clark Lea turns the defense loose on him.

Agree. Unleash the hounds on this guy and watch him freeze like a deer in the headlights.

Or knowing ND history, have a Heisman caliber game!

Your waiver will be approved if you hire the right attorney, if you don't, its a crapshoot. Evidently Phil family didn't hire the right guy.
