UNC's Mack Brown takes blow torch to NCAA: "I don't know if I've ever been more disappointed in a person, group of people or institution than I am w/NCAA right now. It's clear NCAA ... couldn't care less about the young people it's supposed to be supporting. I've lost all faith in its ability to lead & govern the sport. They've messed so many things up as it relates to college football & now their failures have negatively impacted the life of one of our own. The decision makers at the NCAA & the committee should be ashamed of themselves for doing this to a young man. We've got complete rosters overhauled through transfer portal, players playing in their 8th year of college, at their 4th school. Yet, Tez Walker, who only played football at 1 school, isn't eligible. It makes no sense & never will. Shame on you, NCAA. SHAME ON YOU!"
Hey @CharlieBakerMA, are you even familiar with the FACTS of Tez Walker’s case? Or are you “Emmerting” it?
He never PLAYED or even PRACTICED football at North Carolina Central (Covid). The ONLY uniform he has ever worn was Kent St.
#LyingPoliticians#Incompetence@ReceDavis
Forget the @NCAA’s incompetence. Ignore its anachronistic rules & ugly past. Spend the next 2 minutes acutely focused on Tez Walker as a human being. Consider what this impressive young man has faced.
This is not opinion, these are incontrovertible facts.
Tez’s history:👇🏽
Couple sources have indicated UNC expects NCAA to reverse its decision on Tez Walker’s eligibility for the opener against South Carolina. Likely to hear something next week. Would be ‘heartbroken’ if it stands.
Today, Gov. Cooper sent a letter to the NCAA President to grant Tez Walker's transfer waiver. Nothing could be bigger or more important to Tez than the opportunity to get a fine university education at UNC and to compete in front of his family in Carolina Blue.
Ugly look here for NCAA.
✅Tez Walker transferred twice, but didn't play at NC Central in 2020 because they didn't have a season (COVID).
✅NCAA denying in backdrop of conference capitalism is hilarious hypocrisy.
✅Scouts see him as a Top 50 pick this year *if* he continues progress as Drake Maye's top target.
✅His story of overcoming adversity and earning a trip to his home state should be celebrated. Not prevented.

@Delta case # 07502420 not sure if I will fly delta again. Absolute nightmare situation 7 weeks ago. Pay for first class, moved to coach, landed 8 hours later, had to rent a car/ get a hotel hotel …….and not one call back/email or refund in 7 weeks. Horrible experience

How great is this from Oklahoma State women’s basketball coach Jacie Hoyt? @CoachJacie
We’ve always been “ unc fans” and now we will always be “ GRIMES” fans. Life isn’t fair, but we all live and learn and make the most of it. Wishing TG the absolute best and we will for sure miss seeing him at UNC. Once a 🐏 always a 🐏 ❤️ #Fam

ITS TIME FOR JaQURIOIS CONLEY
Led the team in tackles before his injury.
Started every single game until his injury
Bigger the game, the better he plays
He is a DOG and one of the best athletes on the field.
THE TIME IS NOW
