NCAA reverses course, grants immediate-eligibility waiver to Michigan transfer Myles Sims at Georgia Tech

Jim Harbaugh didn’t make many friends following the transfer of two of his Michigan players this offseason, but at least one of them has seen a positive ending to their journey.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Myles Sims had his appeal for a waiver for immediate eligibility at Georgia Tech denied. The defensive back had transferred to Tech from Michigan earlier this offseason.

Wednesday, however, Tech confirmed that, after appealing the initial denial, Sims has been granted a waiver that will allow him to play immediately in 2019. Including this coming season, Sims will have four years of eligibility he can use with the Yellow Jackets.

“I’m happy for Myles and for our team that he has been granted immediate eligibility. This is the right decision for the young man,” head coach Geoff Collins said in a statement.

Oliver is a tremendous young man who has been working hard since the day he set foot on our campus this summer. His teammates are excited to have him on the practice field and in the weight room, and we look forward to Oliver being able to contribute to our team.”

STATEMENT FROM MARTIN
“I am ecstatic that the NCAA and the Big Ten Conference have approved our waiver request. I want to thank my coaches and my teammates for their help as I work to get ready. I have been dreaming of running out of the tunnel wearing the black and gold ever since I decided to join the program. I can’t wait to contribute to this team on the field.”

Can't believe I never saw this thread: I would have totally been spamming it up with all my new and reclaimed favorites through my daughters' toddlerhood and early elementary years.

These are my very favorite picture books to have read aloud to the little ones:

Owl Moon by Jane Yolen, about a dad taking his daughter out for her first time "owling" on a winter night in the woods


The Ox-Cart Man by Donald Hall, about the annual cycle of life for a olden-times New England family


I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean! by Kevin Sherry, the first book that really cracked us up at bedtime, a million times over


Birds by Kevin Henkes, so simple but just about perfect


The Dam by David Almond, this one is quite new but so haunting and interesting, about an English town flooded by a new dam


Journey by Aaron Becker, the first in an awesome trilogy of wordless books about a girl's adventure of imagination

The most challenging part about writing this book was that the subject material was at least 40 years old. Memories fade and recollections are often unreliable. However, many unknown nuggets were dug out such as Bo's participation in minor league football (not to be confused with the lesser semi-pro football). It was well known that he was drafted by MLB and the NFL, but in 1968 Bo also played for the Harrisburg Capital Colts of the Atlantic Coast Football League (ACFL) and in 1969 for the Portland Loggers of the Continental Football League (CFL) all while he continued to toil in the baseball minors, as an assistant at OSU and after a supposed career ending achilles injury with the Baltimore Colts. All of this was presumably for the love of the game and to stay in shape, because there was little money involved. Bo never included this activity on his resume and rarely spoke of it. Bo was the ultimate bad-ass. Bo was the ultimate bad ass.
