This just in...JJ's Back!

[grizindabox]

Welcome back JJ. So he has to sit out this year, then he has 2 more full years of eligibility?

I would imagine that he is back this year. Otherwise why would they bother announcing that he is back on the team immediatily.

He already sat out this last season, so as of now, he will have 2 years of eligibility remaining.

 

[ilovethecats]

good for him and obviously for your team. hopefully you guys can start getting back to normal in missoula. definitely going to be interesting to follow him this season.

HIP HIP HOOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELCOME BACK JORDY!!!! :clap: :thumb: :lol: :arrow: :birth: :lol:

 

[grizindabox]

What year of eligibility will he have?

Hopefully, he will be able to petition the NCAA for another year. If not he only has 1 year.

This is incorrect...a student-athlete has 5 years to compete 4. JJ played sparingly in year 1, led the Griz to the semifinals in year 2, and did not play in year 3 due to the cluster. He still has 2 years of eligibility remaining.

Step 1: JJ acquitted and back on team (CHECK!)
Step 2: Replace Pat "the thug" Williams & Royce “the weasel” Engstrom (Coming Soon!)
Step 3: Get Phlu and O'day back! (Not likely )
Step 4: Win another National Championship in 2014 (Hopefully!)

I'm hoping for a National Championship in 2013!

The game is played in January. Thus 2014 I think is what the OP was getting at. You are right though it would be the 2013 season.

Actually you are incorrect. Not trying to start crap, but, while an atlete has 5 years, one of those has to be a redshirt and JJ did not have a redshirt year. SO JJ will have to petition the ncaa for a redshirt for last year. If he does AND the NCAA grants it he should have, as you pointed out 2 years. The clock starts the second you hit the field. If you take a year off, get suspended, quit, go on a mission or...whatever, the clock doesn't stop then start again it just keeps on running.

JJ did not redshirt.

Best thread I've read in alooooong time.

Our star QB returns + Our wounded Griz get their spirit back that was unjustly taken.

:evil: ***Watch out for the 2013 GRIZ*** :evil:

His redshirt is just a formality. He will have 2 years left.

Agreed...but it's still paperwork. And, well it is the NCAA so...

So assuming you are correct...What is the process to apply for a redshirt and is it easy to get approved? You think if he was sitting out for a trial they would let him red shirt. Heck Jimmy Wilson got approved to play after missing 2 years. Hopefully JJ can have 2 years of eligibility left.

Montana reinstates Johnson to football team

Missoula, MT (Sports Network) - The University of Montana reinstated quarterback Jordan Johnson to the football program on Tuesday, less than a week after he was acquitted on a rape charge.

Johnson, a 20-year-old junior from Eugene, Ore., was found not guilty on Friday in a case involving a female UM student who accused him of raping her on Feb. 4, 2012 as the two watched a movie at her home.

The university suspended Johnson from the football program last season, but he appealed his return over the weekend and appeared before the UM athletic conduct team on Monday. UM president Royce Engstrom also approved the reinstatement.

"He is back on the team effective immediately," the university said in a statement.

Johnson was the starting quarterback on the 2011 Montana team which shared the Big Sky Conference title and reached the FCS national semifinals in an 11-3 season.

The Johnson case has been the most high-profile during a tumultous period at the university.

UM is is under NCAA and federal investigations for the manner in which rape allegations are handled on campus, investigated by police and prosecuted by the Missoula County attorney's office.

Former state Supreme Court Justice Diane Barz has said her investigation found nine alleged rapes or sexual assaults involving students occurred between September 2010 and December 2011.

Amid the troubles on campus, UM fired athletic director Jim O'Day and head football coach Robin Pflugrad last March.

Pflugrad's successor, second-year head coach Mick Delaney, will lead the Grizzlies through spring football drills beginning on March 18.

Redshirt process is just a formality, the last season will be JJ's redshirt and he will have 2 years of eligibility remaining. The thing that has me wondering is if the NCAA will find a reason to make JJ ineligible moving forward and all of this is a mute point.

Maybe we should get RG a book on the very basics of redshirt rules, and teach him how to count to 5. Petition the ncaa for a redshirt year. Now that's pretty funny.

So the grizzlie athletic department recruits perps and pervs, reaps the profits of their on-field success which it uses to pay off the so-called justice system for their off-the-field deviance. Quite the business model. I guess this just makes it official. :roll:

I've always felt that this kind of corruption starts in the home. Today's brainwashed lefty parents let their children get away with murder and scream at the top of their lungs if their little brats don't at least get a blue ribbon for participation (it could damage their fragile self-esteem, you know).

Of course they're going to expect special treatment in this kind of environment.

Oh look everybody, Panthera is back...

Give him a break. He must still be really butt hurt from the beat down his team has had to endure from the Griz.

FIFY (very small edit). UNI must love to come to Missoula to get whacked by 38 points--they've done it twice in the playoffs, after all. But, hey, that's only five touchdowns, five extra points, and a field goal difference. That must be deemed 'participation' in Panthera's world.
