Ole Miss Cheats to Get Jeremiah Masoli

College football is a dirty game. Ole Miss made it even dirtier. In order to get promising yet troubled quarterback Jeremiah Masoli on their roster, Ole Miss used a little known loophole. So instead of Masoli having to sit out a year like most transfer college football players, he will be able to play right away.

How did Ole Miss do it? It was quite crafty, actually. Since Masoli had an undergraduate degree from Oregon already, he went into the Parks and Recreation graduate program at Ole Miss — a graduate program not offered at Oregon. An NCAA loophole allows for players to transfer if their graduate program of choice isn’t offered at their current school.

Obviously, Masoli transferred to Ole Miss to play football — not to brush up on his Parks and Rec education. And the reason why he was available to Ole Miss wasn’t due his good grades, it was due to him getting kicked off of Oregon’s squad for two brushes with the law. Not only did he plead guilty to a burglary charge, he also got cited for marijuana possession.

Instead of punishing Masoli, Ole Miss is doing everything they can to make sure Masoli faces absolutely no repercussions.

Well played, Ole Miss. Great message for kids around the country — not to mention players on your own team. Have fun struggling to be ranked.
