Barnett tweeted a few minutes ago he's been cleared to play in the first game of the season. Not sure how he is, but he's been ruled eligible to play without waiting four games.

Never heard of her.

Hope he leads them straight to a L to lead the season off then.

Wow....truly unbelievable...smh

So how the heck did he get a waiver?

tide power fan · Jan 31, 2017

I wish him luck,

gamersfuel · Jan 31, 2017

good luck to him. i think he has a heck of an arm. I dont care about how or why he transferred. i'll be cheering for him.

Moro Creek · Jan 31, 2017

I doubt he would have ever played any significant minutes with Bama even if Jalen gets hurt. I wish him good luck in his health, his personal life, spiritual life, and life beyond football. As far as football, I wish him no good luck or bad luck. He makes no difference to me since he is no longer at Bama.

Can't agree...He left his team in the middle of the season. He took away a scholarship and practice time. He was a distraction, albeit minimal, in a CFP run...and now somehow his poc helicopter father has hoodwinked the NCAA into letting him play right away without sitting...There's a box we don't need opened...The only luck I wish him is that he doesn't lose his GF to the eventual starting QB at..wait, where???

This flies in the face of logic & seems to signal that the NCAA will sanction free agency.

I'm happy for the young man. He did what was best for him. Coaches leave teams all the time before the bowl game for money. Saban did it at Michigan State.

The Ols · Jan 31, 2017

He and his Dad left 4 games into the season...Apples and oranges.

You must not be knowledgeable on how Blake left the team. Only explanation for your comment..

I am curious about the reasoning from the NCAA. Like you said if pretty much sets up free agency in college football.

So it's ok for a coach to leave the team 11 games into the season for money and only money?

It's not ok for a kid to leave a team 4 games into the season so he can play a game the next year?

Saban wanted to coach the bowl game, but Michigan State told him no.

Exactly. To make a workplace analogy...CNS put in a notice to MSU but they didn't let him finish it. Barnett just left the building w/o saying a word to anyone....quit. He's a quitter.

I just don't get this. Something stinks. The one year transfer rule will be abolished or should be lawyer-challenged from now on, with each case. This guy plays four games, is uninjured physically, quits on his team and can immediately transfer without sitting out a year? What pictures does the ASU coach have on the NCAA president?

This is a precedent. The NCAA has cut themselves off at the knees.

KrAzY3 · Jan 31, 2017

I can't believe the NCAA did this. The more logical line of thought would be that the NCAA would plug up the loophole entirely in the future (so that players can't transfer mid-season to save part of their eligibility). The waiver allowing players to transfer mid-season and still retain full eligibility the next year is just absurd.

bamacpa · Jan 31, 2017

I am not able to root for this young man.

BamaMike05 · Feb 1, 2017

I would have zero problem with him transferring if he would have waited until the end of the season to do so. He quit on his team right in the middle of the season.

And I am beyond shocked that the NCAA ruled him eligible right away. They just opened Pandora's box IMO. This doesn't help an already bad trend of entitlement issues.
