Because Texas Tech didn't give Baker Mayfield a full release to transfer to Oklahoma, the 2016 season could be his final one in college.
According to Big 12 rules, players who transfer within the conference automatically lose a season of eligibility, barring a successful appeal through the league's faculty representatives. Even for players who were walk-ons, like Mayfield.
Tuesday, Mayfield was asked about this, and he didn't hold back.
"It’s about that time for (Texas Tech) to realize it’s quite ridiculous that they didn’t pay for any of my school and they’re able to take a year of my eligibility away," said Mayfield, who hasn't gained a waiver from the Big 12's faculty representatives to get his fourth and final season of eligibility back.
