Just saw on Twitter from the conference that us and West Fl. Have both played ineligible players this season. Are we in jeopardy of consequences coming later? Anyone have any knowledge on this?

In looking at the statements, the UWF player had been suspended for the previous year and his reinstatement required certain reports be submitted. UWF didn't submit the final report.
The VSU player was a transfer, and the previous institution omitted information from the documents it submitted to the NCAA. It's the NCAA; so, fairness and common sense are not necessarily part of the equation, but if the screw up is truly on the part of the other institution, VSU shouldn't have to forfeit games, but I repeat, it's the NCAA.

Last year, Ferris State played an ineligible player. Allegedly, he was told by Grand Valley that he wouldn't be eligible so he went to Ferris State instead - and played. It was reported. They did not forfeit any games but they did receive a nullification penalty and were moved from the #1 seed to the #2 seed. That is how I remember it but I cannot guarantee those details are absolutely correct.

The GSC football site has a report explaining the situation and sanctions. As of now it looks like a fine and reinstruction and review of the applicable procedures for both institutions assuming no further violations are found. Both institutions self reported when the potential violation was discovered and the violation was found to be a secondary type and not requiring nullification sanctions.

These D1 schools have been known to botch a transfer by not completing some paperwork........maybe deliberately??
The article did say that the NCAA will be voting on some of these transfer regulations in January.
West Fl has a different issue.

Goff is a good guy. He's being thorough in making sure things are done right.
The whole staff takes NCAA regulations seriously - from the AD on down. We are very fortunate to have the people we do.
