Ole Miss has formally objected to former quarterback Shea Patterson's request to play college football in 2018, according to Patterson's attorney.
The former Rebel quarterback transferred to Michigan in December. He petitioned the NCAA to waive its usual one-year transfer waiting period this spring on the grounds that his old coaches at Ole Miss lied to him and other players about the degree of trouble the program was in for violating NCAA rules.
Ole Miss refutes those claims, and thus objects to the players' request to waive the NCAA's normal transfer rules.
