NCAA Denies NC State’s Appeal, Angeline to Sit 1st Three Games

Published

on

NC State head coach Dave Doeren confirmed yesterday that Redshirt Sophomore Tight End Cary Angeline will have to sit the first three games of the season due to transfer rules.

Angeline played in the first two games of the 2017 season for Southern California before deciding to transfer. The NCAA then ruled that Angeline would have to sit out the first three games of the 2018 season, even though he only played in two games in 2017.

NC State appealed to bring the number of games missed down to 2, but the NCAA denied their appeal. Obviously they were hoping to have Angeline back for their matchup against #20 West Virginia, but Angeline will suit up for the first time against Marshall.

Technically speaking, Angeline is a 4-2-4 transfer, which means that he transferred from a 4-year college (USC), to a 2-year community college (Delaware Community College), then back to a 4-year college (NC State). According to the NCAA’s rules, a 4-2-4 transfer must sit 365 days from the day he leaves the original 4-year college.

The committee actually began the 365 day ticker after he told the coaches he was leaving after Game 3, when technically his “withdrawal” was after that.

Yes, UNC just won an appeal with the NCAA, which cleared former Ohio State running back Antonio Williams to play immediately in Chapel Hill this season, after playing in 12 games for the Buckeyes last year.

For what it’s worth, these two cases aren’t apples-to-apples because they fall under different rules and different committees. Williams transferred from a 4-year school to a 4-year school. Angeline was a 4-2-4. Each type of transfer comes with its own set of rules. Also, both of these appeals were sent to completely different committees.

With that being said, Angeline is suffering from an NCAA rule which doesn’t make sense and isn’t just. He wanted to continue his education, but didn’t know where he wanted to transfer to yet, so he enrolled at a community college, not playing football there. This rule, in my opinion, punishes Angeline for wanting to pursue his education, while also wanting to make sure he made the right college choice.

That’s unacceptable.
