I'm mean everyone hasn't figured that out, so it might not be that. But it could be.
Hammond out for the season no reason given

This is pretty disappointing to read. He was an important part of our offense and will be missed. Time for guys to step up.
Used the wrong pronouns...that's what one deserves!

Maybe, but if he wanted to transfer why let him remain on the team and take practice reps away from a future player or contributor, not to mention how that would look to the rest of the team. Narduzzi doesn't usually let guys come back who entered the portal, so this would be a major break from what he has done in the past by letting him stay on the team. Plus if he wants to transfer now then it is not the smartest move on his part as they could pull the NIL money and he would get nothing this year.
Looks like he got caught driving with a suspended license earlier this year. I can't imagine that gets you booted for more than like a half unless Gabel wants the team to fail so she can move it to Florida (hopefully everyone gets the reference and doesn't think I'm serious about her moving the team).
The word on the street is that this is NIL related. There have been attempts to resolve it but in the end, both parties felt it was less risky to just sit out the season. Apparently there are actual rules.
NIL related??? What!!!
He better not get a dime if he’s still on the team only to hit the portal come December

No! No! No!
People. He is INELIGIBLE. He is STILL ON THE TEAM. The PG reported its not akademix. There are no police reports. It can ONLY be a failed test. This isnt hard.
Watching TCU-Stanford and saw it on the ESPN ticket. What the f is going on? This is news all of a sudden, less than 24 hours before opening day?
Exactly. I was being sarcastic & this was kinda my point. Had he wanted to transfer, he would have hit the portal last April. It was open for 2 weeks right after spring ball, which he did not participate in for reasons that have still not been disclosed to my knowledge. So chances are "wanting to transfer" has absolutely nothing to do with it, unless he hasn't figured out how the portal works. And I'm sure he has.
It kinda hilarious how many here are quick to blame everyone but the player. It's obvious Hammond screwed up here. Whether it was PEDs or sports betting. It's a bummer. Hope he sorts it out.
It can absolutely be sports betting as well. As mentioned here, that happened with Iowa State and Iowa players last year.
I assume the player has some privacy rights but also assume it'll come out be released eventually.
PN won’t because say what you want about him he has his players backs. The school might say but he won’t. PN, Rodney’s teammates, the school all did nothing this is 100% on Rodney & he should know better. As the post above you says think Iowa/Iowa St last season…
Exactly. And, if it's that it's a NCAA ruling and not a team discipline thing. Likely even happened a little while back and they had to wait for an eventual ruling from the NCAA. Likely why he was not discussed a ton summer camp even though he was practicing/participating.
What’s even worse is the school/Alliance 412 (so alum/fans) made a hefty financial commitment to the kid & this is how he acts smh
It can only be those 2 things. I don't think its gambling because everyone does it so how would they only catch him?
Its not team discipline because that would be listed as a suspension for violation of team rules. He is ineligible meaning he broke an NCAA rule.
No problem. Sarcasm is hit or miss on a message board. Often a miss.
