It was reported on Tuesday by Sam Webb of 247Sports that the appeal for Shea Patterson was submitted Monday to the NCAA and Ole Miss by the Michigan compliance department, along with Thomas Mars, the attorney representing the Patterson family.
There was an abundance of information to sift through, with court briefs and the former Ole Miss Houston Nutt lawsuit filed for defamation against the school, among other evidence. All involved in filing wanted to be diligent with this appeal process. This may have taken longer than Michigan fans had hoped, but the wait is almost over.
The 10-Day Window
The appeal process has a 10-day window from when it’s filed with the NCAA.
