Erich Fisher of the Illinois Rivals page Orangeandbluenews.com posted on Twitter that the NCAA has denied the waiver request for transfer Luke Ford to be eligible immediately. This waiver request was submitted after the NCAA originally denied him immediate eligibility just months prior.
Ford entered his name into the transfer earlier this year. He wasn’t transferring because he wanted to go title chasing. He proved that by coming to Illinois where we haven’t won a title in 69 years. He wasn’t transferring to a program for playing time. He was going to get starts at Georgia and be great there.
