Howe: Oliver Martin Remains Calm, Cool, Collected

Maybe somebody should just ask him why he is wasting the NCAA's time applying for a waiver when he openly admits he has no beef with anybody at Michigan and had no family emergency that required him at home in Iowa City.

Martin knows the rules, the Iowa football coaches know the rules. Just suck it up and sit out the year like the rules say you are supposed to do when you transfer. Why even apply for a waiver?

The rules are bended all the time for far less shit. My question is, why wouldn't he try? He's got 5 years of his life to play college ball. Why give up one with no fight at all?
 
Exactly right, you follow the rule when it’s the same for everyone. In this situation, it’s an arbitrary joke. Therefore, you play the game as everyone else until the NCAA has the stones to standardize the process.

Why would he sit out a year if he didn't have to? I mean that is just stupid really, as waivers are being granted right and left now a days.
 
I was on twitter and I tweeted at him "Hey Oliver if you get too hot then jump in a pool to cool off". I am always giving people advice on social media.

Wasting the the NCAA’s time...LOL...wait, are you serious? For the life of me...I’m not really sure how the NCAA fills their day with worthwhile activities. Oliver’s request may cut into a Starbucks run, or maybe some pencil sharpening activities, but time is one thing they have plenty of. integrity...not so much.

If you set the rules and stick to them...this decision takes 5 minutes...but like everything else...they screw the pooch and then require a team of attorneys to sign off so they don’t face litigation on everything. Idiots.

Not to mention there may be a reason we don’t have a clue about. I mean, if the family hired a lawyer, it may be more than just an OC issue. Maybe the family didn’t like how we was treated after a concussion, maybe there was an issue with a teammate similar to Chris Steele at Florida. We don’t know the whole story.

Looked awfully good at scrimmage today - couple big time catches and just gets open on short/quick game.
A lot of reps with #1's & #2's for a player your not sure is going to be available.... I think they know what will happen.

The NCAA doesn't know its own rules. Roll the dice. What the hell.
If you don't try, you know what the answer will be.
