A decision regarding the immediate eligibility of Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson, who transferred in December from Ole Miss which has been slapped with NCAA violations and an additional postseason bowl ban, should come in the next month.
Michigan submitted Patterson’s waiver application to the NCAA on Monday, according to Thomas Mars, who is representing Patterson and several Ole Miss transfers. A copy of the application also was sent to Ole Miss compliance.
Ole Miss has 10 days to respond and can support or oppose the request, and it can also choose to not respond. But the ultimate decision on Patterson’s eligibility will come from the NCAA, the governing body of college athletics, after it receives Ole Miss’ response, and that should happen before Michigan begins spring practice in late March.
