Official Oliver Martin "Eat Crow" Thread

I agree with that. I could have handled it better here.

In my defense, nobody differentiated between him being cleared by the NCAA and being completely cleared. That's what I was reporting on. My source told me he was not yet eligible. And that's what I was reporting.

But I have learned some lessons here. I will be much more tight-lipped when it comes sharing information. I will let you guys share rumors and speculation and stay out of it.

That's not me taking my ball and going home. I just think it will make things easier.

I actually appreciate it when you join in the discussions, rumor or not. You are in a tougher spot than us random fans where you have to be more deliberate. I'd say everyone on here would agree you should continue to weigh in.

The NCAA owed us this one after screwing us on Ott.

That's pretty harsh. Rob is a journalist who holds himself to a little higher standard than a GHawk or Ree4. On top of that, he is part of a website that I'm sure doesn't want to be in the business of having info posted on it's site that isn't correct....while at the same time, making sure he protects his sources and the info they are giving. I'm cool with how Rob handled this.

The journalists could have given info on how the process works.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who had no idea that after the NCAA rules a positive waiver then the conference reviews it for approval too.
