This is confusing to me. Jarrett Hicks is ineligible for not meeting the NCAA's "progress towards degree" requirements. Texas Tech requested a waiver of this rule for Hicks, which was denied by the NCAA. Tech appealed, and today, the NCAA granted the waiver of the "progress towards degree" requirements. What has changed, besides the stagnation of Tech's offense?
Is Leach really that desperate now, that he feels the need to pressure the NCAA to reinstate a player who is not meeting academic requirements, then praise the decision for letting Jarrett "continue his track towards graduation"?
If this happened at A&M, Blake would be outraged, and the server at raiderpower.com would explode.

I don't think anyone can really pressure the National Communists Against Athletes from doing anything it doesn't want to do.
Previous history supports that without any question.
The bigger question is, will Hicks stop being so damn lazy and play the way Tech needs him to play this year?
Joe,
You are forgetting that Leach is the same guy who recruited a convicted rapist last year. Other teams avoided his, Leach offered him a scholarship. He will doing anything to avoid going 7-5 again.
