I would hate to lose a couple of these players if they wanted to be here. Obviously they don't (for various reasons), so it's best that they move on.  

Of this group of Ole Miss transfers, if one of the players is granted immediate eligibility, then all of them will have to be granted eligibility.  The decision will have to be all eligible or none eligible.  The argument could be why did you grant one player eligibility and not grant the other player eligibility?  You can be assured that the Walmart lawyer will be on top of this so he can get collect his fees, now or in the future, or to set a precedence and give him a legal niche with NCAA transfer eligibility.

Now, if the NCAA grants eligibility to these transfers, how many other college football players will hire the ex-Walmart lawyer and tell him the coach did not tell me the truth when I was recruited.  I want to transfer and become immediately eligible.

The rule is in the NCAA handbook.  It reads that programs like Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Auburn, etc., and any team deemed enabled by the NCAA get certain privileges that are not given to other schools.  These schools can do whatever they want, whenever they want without any penalties.  This rule is found somewhere hidden within the many pages of the NCAA Manual of Conduct.  The rule is written in special ink that can only be read by NCAA personnel who wear special glasses that are locked in a vault deep within the confines of the NCAA HQ.
