The use of the word "ineligible" makes it very probable that it is some NCAA violation meaning he can't be reinstated this year. Had it been a team or university suspension, it would have been worded differently.
im curious why he's still with the team. i guess technically he might be able to use this season of ineligibility as his redshirt and come back next year but situations like this, it's probably best for both sides to move on.
i know he's not kicked out of school and is still enrolled as a student but why dress with the team? Is he even practicing and if so, why?

I do know there was displeasure between a HC and a certain administrator in the Athletic Department not just over the whole situation which they felt was rectified but also with the timing of it.
well tell us the name of this certain Athletic Dept administrator and me and some friends will go dump garbage on that certain person's lawn..
I don't think it's been disclosed who declared Hammond ineligible.
If the school declared him ineligible, I suppose he could return, but there is probably some unresolved issue regarding NCAA rules that could result in wins being vacated if he plays.
It's really hard to say with the info that's been made public.
A school cannot declare a player ineligible. They can suspend him for breaking some team or university rule. The player is still "eligible" to play as far as the NCAA is concerned.
He is still a full member of the team, taking a redshirt year due to an NCAA issue. Where do you want him to go?
I’m curious about the RS use also. If the NCAA declared him ineligible (seems to be the case) I think that is loss of a year of eligibility. So instead of 5 years to play 4, he loses that 4th year.
He is on the sidelines and still part of the team. He is doing conditioning work but isn’t practicing because why would they take reps from backs that will play to give them to a guy that is ineligible.
He is 22 years old and has a decent amount of tape already, so he may just be essentially getting ready for his pro day.
Yes but the player would still be eligible as far as the NCAA is concerned. They dont care about Pitt's policy. If he broke a Pitt policy, it would have been worded as suspended, not ineligible.
You didn't dump garbage on that person's lawn. You dumped it on him, his wife, his little girl....
Maybe. It's just semantics. I've heard of schools declaring a player academically ineligible. Never heard of it referred to a suspension.
lol, thank you. i was kidding btw, would never in a million years do anything like this. i just love making All the right moves references..You didn't dump garbage on that person's lawn. You dumped it on him, his wife, his little girl....

The team doesn't even know the exact reason so it doesn't matter. Whatever happened, it's being handled privately so unless Hammond decides otherwise, I'm pretty certain it will remain an unknown.
Well I think the Chancellor already dumped garbage on her lawn.
Heard he'll be playing this season. We shall see. H2P!!!
imagine giving NIL money to a player who gets suspended lol. that would be my luck.
Pierre93 has been known to have some inside sources.
would be great news to be honest. i like carter but im not the HC. Hammond would bring a ton to this rb group for sure.
any kind of time frame?
Is that your problem Stef? That godd@mn mill?You didn't dump garbage on that person's lawn. You dumped it on him, his wife, his little girl....
Schools dont declare a player academically ineligible. The NCAA does. If they do not meet minimum academic NCAA requirements, they are ineligible.
It's already been publicly stated that the ineligibility was NOT due to academics. Maybe a lie to protect him, but that doesn't sound plausible as that kind of ineligibility has been publicly stated many times by the NCAA.
That would be great, but they pretty clearly stated he was ineligible for the entire 2024 season. I'd think it would be hard to walk that back. Usually it's an "indefinitely" that leaves a chance for reinstatement.
I hope you're right because they could use him.
I'm curious if he is still with the team and attending classes as to who pays his room and board and tuition...
well hopefully pierre is right and the door is still open for him.
Why is this so hard for everyone to understand? He is a full member of the team and university. He is still on scholarship. He is serving a season suspension from the NCAA. That doesnt mean he cant go to Math class.
sorry Skippy....I have stuff do during the day and do not have time to whack off to NCAA bylaws like yourself and just assumed that being on scholarship meant being eligible to participate in 'that thing' you are getting a free ride for... my bad. Never said he could not go to class just wondering on the justification on going to said class for free..
In 3 games from what I've heard. Hope it works out H2P!!!!
Situations like what? Why should he move on if this is his university, team, etc.?

5-4??? Jesus Christ.
Get your stuff and get the hell out of here right now. You're off the team.
