NCAA statement on possible Paulus transfer - Big Ten - ESPN

Sorry this is coming in a bit late, but the NCAA issued the following statement on the Greg Paulus situation, which seems to be confusing Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier, among others.
Here you go:
"Mr. Paulus has expressed an interest in competing in a second sport at another Division I school after earning an undergraduate degree at Duke University and competing on the men's basketball team. The NCAA encourages and applauds academic achievement and realizes this is an unique situation and opportunity for Mr. Paulus. Student-athletes seldom have the opportunity to transfer late in their college careers and compete in a second sport after four seasons of competition. The NCAA established a "students first" waiver process to address unique situations and extenuating circumstances such as this that are not outlined in our rules.
If a student-athlete wants to transfer and immediately compete as a graduate student, the college or university they are transferring to would need to seek a waiver, because in most cases they would have to sit out a year before competing under NCAA transfer rules and would not have any remaining eligibility. One of the factors our members have determined is appropriate for a graduate student waiver is if the transfer is academically motivated."

Got it? It'll be on the test.

Michigan's interest in Paulus raises red flag
Posted: April 16, 2009

Look closely, everyone. It's whipping in the wind, snapping and flapping right over Schembechler Hall. "Every day that I threw the last couple of weeks," Greg Paulus said Thursday, "it has gotten better and better."

And now look: the guy who played point guard for Duke the last four seasons, who hadn't picked up a football in four years before, you know, getting his arm loose recently, could be the starting quarterback at Michigan this fall.

Maybe it's not really a red flag.

Maybe it's time to panic.

It's not Paulus' fault he wants to delay the inevitable of playing point guard in Bulgaria. The most hated player in college basketball -- why again is he hated, because he busted his tail? -- could soon be the most hated player in the state of Ohio.

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez has invited Paulus to compete for the starting quarterback job. Why, you ask? Because Rodriguez has nothing else.

Or at least, he has nothing yet.

Paulus has one semester of eligibility left. If he graduates from Duke in May, he can enroll at a school as a graduate student and play this fall.

If Rodriguez wants Paulus to compete for the Michigan job -- Paulus hasn't accepted the offer yet -- that can only mean a number of things. Among them:

?The impressive numbers heralded recruit Tate Forcier put up in the spring game (11-of-13, 141 yards, four touchdowns; 41 yards rushing, one TD) against second- and third-team defenses don't tell the whole story. If Forcier were locked in atop the depth chart, if he picked up the offense quickly and was on track to assume control Sept. 5 against Western Michigan, there's no way Rodriguez tells Paulus he will have an opportunity to compete for the starting job.

Why get inside the head of a freshman -- only 15 practices into his college career and still comprehending the monster that is expectations, a new playbook, schoolwork and living on your own -- and make it significantly harder?

? Rodriguez isn't interested in 3-9 again -- which he'll get if 2008 part-time starter Nick Sheridan is forced to play because Forcier isn't ready or doesn't pan out.

?Rodriguez isn't waiting around to see if freshman Denard Robinson is the answer once the pads go on in August. Rodriguez thought it could work with Justin Feagin last fall, and now Feagin can't crack the three-deep at wideout.

There's no one else, people. If walk-on David Cone were the answer, he'd have played last year.

That's why Rodriguez has turned to Paulus, who four years ago was one of the top high school quarterbacks in the nation at Christian Brothers Academy in Syracuse. He set state records and threw for 11,763 yards and 152 touchdown passes in 45 career games, and had scholarship offers from Miami and Notre Dame.

There are so many digs on Paulus that Tot could have put in his Facebook, and that's all the smack he could muster?

Tater, here's a few other ideas, courtesy of the Bobcat:

"Tate Forcier is wondering why some guy in a Duke basketball jersey is up here in Ann Arbor sniffing my jock."

"Tate Forcier bumped into Greg Paulus on campus today. Paulus fell over and started crying for a foul."

"Tate Forcier is concerned that David Cone might get pushed down the depth chart by a walk-on grad student."

"Tate Forcier is, uh, tired of, uh, watching, uh, sports shows, uh, interview, uh, Greg, uh, Paulus."

"Tate Forcier is laughing that the kid from Duke believed a word Rich Rod said! haha! Seriously, Greg...April Fools!"

"Tate Forcier is looking forward to schooling Paulus at some one-on-one. No blood, no foul, bitch!"

Tate Forcier in the above interview:
Paulus has not been offered a scholarship by Michigan and I don't know why he would lie to the national media about it.
