Georgia Southern student Jeremy Mack has created an online petition to see if his Eagles (and Brother Phil's Eagles for that matter) could get an NCAA waiver to participate in bowl season if there are not enough bowl eligible teams in the first place...
His petititon is hyah...
His interview with FOSG's Big Frank and Stefanie to explain himself is below...
The HQ is for it...
We're fairly certain Southern is for it...
And it might even mean a bid in the Camellia Bowl for them- which is a new bowl game in Montgomery for December 20th, by the way...
The Eagles are currently 7-2, 6-0 in the Sun Belt. They're are currently 1st in the conference standings, and the rest of their season is interesting. The Eagles travel to Texas State and Navy before finishing the season at home against Louisiana-Monroe.
Could be 9-3 or so... and the waiver might be theirs...

OSG High: Disabled Kids Taken Off DC High School Roster
((HT: WUSA-TV))
There are always rules and regulations when it comes to eligbility for high school students playing athletics.
Two developmentally-disabled students who attend a private school in DC, it appears, were traditionally steered to play football at another school. But that idea has gotten the public school in some hot water and the kids on the sidelines.
Here's the story out of DC
The hook in all of this seems to be that, if the two were attending the public school in the first place, their eligibility wouldn't be in question. There are other states that allow home-schooled athletes to pair themselves with schools in their district.
But the comeback would be that those two may not have had that option to continue their schooling with their disabilities in the public school that may not have been properly prepared for their schooling.
The HQ doesn't see this as "over" for a while...

OSG High: 7 Ineligible For Chicago-Curie, Forfeiting Everything... But...
((HT: MyFoxChicago))
This classifies itself as "not good" for both Curie High and the Chicago Public Schools system...
7 of the players for the top-ranked team in the state of Illinois and the second-ranked team in the country were declared ineligible from the beginning of the season. As a result, the school is forfeiting 24 wins and the city title...
In Michael O'Brien's piece in the Sun-Times, Chicago Public School students can be eligible with a 2.0 GPA. If the GPA is less than that, an Independent Study Program has to be filed.
Neither was done...
Here's the latest from Curie High...
Chicago News and Weather | FOX 32 News
In an interesting twist, Curie can still compete for the state title since the IHSA and CPS have different eligibility requirements. Condors coach Mike Oliver will be suspended for an amount of time to be determined by CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett.
"We are unable to make an official comment until reviewing the final report from the CPS athletic administration on the investigation," IHSA executive director Marty Hickman said in a statement. "We hope to be in a position to do so by Monday."
"Chicago Public Schools has a proud tradition of athletic competition and sportsmanship, but our No. 1 responsibility to our students is providing them with a solid academic foundation that will serve them the rest of their lives," Byrd-Bennett said in a statement. "A district investigation into the academic eligibility of members of the Curie Metropolitan High School boys varsity basketball team found that a number of the players are academically ineligible to compete and, as a result, their season must be forfeited. As adults, educators and mentors, it is our responsibility to teach our students right from wrong and, unfortunately, the adults let these student-athletes down by failing to do that and comply with CPS policies."
It all started with an anonymous e-mail and a week-long investigation that wrapped up Friday.

OSG High: Did NJ HS FB Coach Fix Grades To Keep Players Eligible...???
((HT: Prep Rally/South Jersey Times))
Delsea Regional High School head football coach Sal Marchese just finished up his 21st season there, but he has been suspended and school officials are chasing accusations of academic irregularities to keep his football players eligible to play.
Delsea has won 11 South Jersey titles- four in the past six seasons- including last year’s season's win over Barnegat to finish 10-2 season and a second straight Group III championship.
Here's the semifinal win over Manasquan
((HT: NJ Shores Sports News/Video))
From the Times:
News of board action leaked through the rural South Jersey community after the board activity and a report of the board vote appeared in the weekly Sentinel of Gloucester County and elsewhere. The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Marchese has been placed on administrative leave pending a board of education investigation into possible academic misconduct.
At least one letter writer claiming to be a Delsea parent questioned the alleged testing impropriety and the district’s lack of transparency. News of the suspension swept through the school district and South Jersey football community, according to numerous sources.
The school board is not acknowledging who a suspended instructor is and will not go on record to say it is, in fact, Marchese. They do admit, however, that there is an instructor on paid leave and the situation surrounding that instructor is ongoing...

Luncheon Brawl DQ's Virginia State From Playoffs
A few days back, the CIAA made the decision to cancel their title game between Winston-Salem State and Virginia State after a VSU player allegedly beat up WSSU quarterback Rudy Johnson in a bathroom during the media luncheon promoting the game...
Now, the conference has decided Virginia State is now ineligible for the Division II playoffs.
The CIAA issued a statement Saturday night saying its board of directors made its decision during a conference call.
Forsyth County authorities say Virginia State running back Lamont Britt was charged with misdemeanor assault and inflicting serious injury.
Virginia State coach Latrell Scott apologized for the incident in a prepared statement and said one of his players was involved in the fight.
"I apologize for yesterday's unfortunate incident at the CIAA luncheon. One of our players made a mistake and cost our team the opportunity to play in the CIAA championship game today. This isolated incident does not represent us as a team or university and we extend our deepest regrets to the WSSU player involved. Due to the ongoing investigation, I cannot comment on the details of the events that took place but can clarify that only one of our players, not five as previously reported, was involved."
Britt has been charged with assault and inflicting serious injury and had bond set at $7,500. He was no longer in the Forsyth County (NC) jail Saturday.
Here was the original story from Greensboro...
