Shame on Greg Sankey and the SEC for not giving Cade a ruling (after already being approved by the NCAA) THE NIGHT BEFORE THE OPENING GAME.

Rest assured, if it was UGA, Alabama, LSU, or Florida that was in this situation, they would have had an answer and a likely eligible 5* OT starting for them tomorrow.

You could tell on Monday Sankey was not going to do anything referring to the current rule as it is what it is. The coaches approved it in 2018, they can change it if they don't like it. They need to modify the rule for 2021. Hate it for Cade and the other 2 SEC transfers. Cade may not stick around if he gets good NFL grades this spring.

It will get changed once Saben and/or Smart wants it changed for them.

It's OFFICIALLY "Year ZERO"...

Hmm, not too sure I'd do that. What if a miracle happens and we go on a tear and are sitting at about 7-0... then Stankey would surely (with a little encouragement from across the state) grow a set and rule that we forfeit all wins in which CM participated. Just throwing that out there as a possibility.

The SEC already has a ruling that's pretty clear. No reason to respond to individuals without some serious extenuating circumstances involved. They should have known he would be sitting a year.

Then why was Pruitt so confident? Seems unlike him to lie about being so sure he would be approved.

Yeah, I thought Sanky's response was pretty clear. Unless the coaches vote to change the rules, a player must sit out a year when transferring for SEC school to SEC school. Barring something unforeseen, Cade won't play in 2020.

The problem is the SEC failing to acknowledge that eligibility requirements during a Covid year should of been adjusted given the ncaa rules. What’s the point in having an SEC office if they can’t even adjust rules in a pandemic year. Just like what’s the point of having an SeC office when they can’t even tell us how they picked the 2 extra conference games this year

We are not asking for him to play. We are only asking for a response. It's unfair for Cade and Pruitt to be in limbo this close to kickoff.

He's already responded. Basically said quit inviting kids to campus knowing what the rules are and then asking for a waiver. Vote to change the rules or don't ask.

Maybe he thought the circumstances surrounding Cade's transfer would qualify him for a special waiver. I can't say. Also can't understand why they waited forever and a day to start the NCAA process.

I guess his father being embroiled in a civil lawsuit doesn’t qualify as “extenuating circumstances”.

I don't think so. It didn't stop Cade from signing with Georgia in the first place. The finger incident took place on a recruiting visit. Cade still ended up at Georgia. The lawsuit was filed years later when Cade was looking to transfer.

No surprise after Sankey’s recent comments. Hate it for Cade and the team. Rules are in place, but this seems like a rare situation with the lawsuit and COVID.

But that's exactly the implication. When the incident occurred, the implication was UGA would take care of it. They didn't, so Kevin was forced to sue. This lead to it being a very bad situation for a student athlete.

THIS IS BS AND SANKEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED. First and foremost, the best interest of the student should be involved, not just the best interest of the favored SEC teams. #firesankey

What does covid have to do with anything remotely related to Cade Mays situation?
