Tara Davis transfers from Georgia

4:15 is barely even Division 1 level. No D-1 team would be excited to get a 4:15 runner. They want 4:08 or a really fast 800 kid they can move up to the mile.

Where did your sons end up going? D3?

so many lies wrote:

This is all a lie. The same day Tara announced she was transferring, some guy Steele Wasik replied and said "HookEm?" and Tara liked it.

She was going to go to Texas the entire time. There was never a doubt. Stop lying Tara.

Didn't Steele Wasik transfer twice? I guess he would know all about it.

They didn’t apply to all Ivies but were each rejected by several. They both went Power 5 and are paying very little due to being national merit finalists and small athletic scholarships. Older son is running at the level where he would have been a major contributor almost anywhere. He would have been top 7 at any team in his regional this fall.

Are you insinuating that Tara is not a genius?

He only transferred once. From one liberal mental institution to another.

Any updates? If she is released, she'd could be competing within a few days.

She wont get a release, nor does she deserve one.

Is Texas able to say goodbye if she doesn’t get one? It is surprising that they had an empty scholarship at this point.

If Georgia doesn’t release her she will win an NCAA hardship waiver. Why is this so hard to understand?

Let her run, Scholarship or no scholarship does not matter, just let her run, she is a new school, being on a team helps socially for her to make friends with students who have similar interest's, it is not good for people to be excluded and alienated, we have so many young people turning to drugs (the opiod epidemic for example) so many young people losing hope, committing suicide, let her be involved in something she enjoys that is not harming to anyone in any way.

LET HER BE ON THE TEAM AND RUN.

Nothing is stopping her from being on team. Nothing is stopping her from practicing with the team. Nothing is stopping her from receiving a scholarship. Nothing is stopping her from running unattached which is unique in our sport AS compared to basketball or football where there are no unattached opportunities.

she will however have to follow the NCAA rule for transferring which says that all student-athletes in all sports must spend one year in residence before representing the new University in competition.

I think there is a restriction on the number of official practices that a redshirt athlete can participate in. Since there is no NLI for transfers, can Texas say no nonscholarship if the decision is that she can’t compete?

There is no hardship waiver for her. Hardship waivers give you an extra year of eligibility due to injury, they do not release you to be able to compete immediately.

I am starting to hope that she competes and fails. If she is having so many personal problems, she is doomed to fail.

So many hateful posters on this thread. SMH

It's as if some of you want to crucify or stone someone to death just to feel good. So shameful.

Then how did Shea Patterson play at Michigan without sitting out or graduating?

Learn the rules dude.

Shea was able to show that there was some sort of reason for the transfer that was beyond his control. This is for people that have some sort of family issues or mitigating circumstances. Simply wanting to transfer to another school is not reason enough to cause hardship.

New NCAA Rule for extenuating circumstances such as Ole Miss' crazy amount of NCAA violations and how they misled Patterson:

http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/April2018DICouncil_Report_20180427.pdf

Modification of NCAA Division I Committee for Legislative Relief NCAA Division I

Four-Year College Transfers Directive. The Council approved a modification, effective

immediately, for student-athletes seeking eligibility for the 2018-19 academic year and

thereafter, to the Committee for Legislative Relief four-year college undergraduate transfer

directive to include an academic analysis and permit immediate eligibility to be provided,

in limited circumstances, for student-athletes who are not eligible to use the one-time transfer exception. Specifically, immediate eligibility may be provided to a transfer

student-athlete, provided: (Fairness/Well-Being/Operational)

a. The transfer is due to documented mitigating circumstances that are outside the

student-athlete's control and directly impact the health, safety and well-being of the

student-athlete;

b. At the time of transfer to the certifying institution, the student-athlete would have

been athletically and academically eligible and in good standing on the team had

he or she remained at the previous institution;

c. The certifying institution must certify that the student-athlete meets percentage-ofdegree requirements; and

d. The previous institution's athletics administration does not oppose the transfer

Important to look at item "d" - If Georgia opposes it then there is no avenue through the NCAA in which Tara can get released. But there is no indication that Part A in this scenario actually applies to Tara either - wanting to be closer to home is not sufficient.

well that shut Indoor up, Tara goes home devestated
