Ole Miss has no further response as NCAA evaluates Shea Patterson's eligibility

Ole Miss will have no further response in the case of former quarterback Shea Patterson, who is seeking immediate eligibility at Michigan, Patterson's attorney told The Detroit News.

Thomas Mars, Patterson's attorney, told the newspaper that Ole Miss on Wednesday morning notified the NCAA that it had "nothing to add," clearing the way for the NCAA to decide Patterson's eligibility. Last week, Ole Miss had filed a formal objection to Patterson's request for immediate eligibility after a transfer. Patterson is asking the NCAA to waive its usual one-year transfer waiting period on the grounds that his former Ole Miss coaches misled him and other players about how much trouble the program was in for violating NCAA rules.
