Ever since Jeremiah Masoli enrolled at Ole Miss the NCAA waiver has been included as one of the hoops he must jump through in order to take the field for the Rebels following his two years in Oregon. Supposedly, the one-year residency waiver is a mere formality for graduate student transfers who are enrolling in a program not offered at their previous school. It's now the Monday before the first game and as of yet - no waiver. Houston Nutt must be sweating bullets. With each passing hour the shadow of doubt is growing across Masoli's chances to play for Ole Miss in 2010. There's simply no reason why the NCAA should need four weeks to grant a waiver. Surely the governing body of college football understands that whether Masoli takes the field on Saturday or any day this fall is rather critical, to Masoli, and to Ole Miss. Something tells me the waiver request is not sitting at the bottom of some pile in the waiver-request cubicle waiting for a slow-moving bureaucrat to rubber stamp it. No. It's been read. The fact that no answer has been made public is unsettling. Something is definitely up.
