The University of Mississippi will have no further response to Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson’s request to the NCAA for immediate eligibility, according to his lawyer, Thomas Mars.
“Therefore, the case is ready to be decided,” Mars indicated Wednesday. “The timing of the NCAA’s decision is a matter of the staff’s discretion, so there is no timetable for when a decision will be made.
“I’m confident, however, that the staff will not take any more time than is necessary to come to the right decision.”
Patterson, transferred from Ole Miss, currently under NCAA probation and slapped with a two-year bowl ban, last December.
