More Powe News

The case of Jerrell Powe is not over. I have been checking the Laurel newspaper that was updating everyone on the status of Powe since the ruling came down. This small bit of news came out yesterday. I would imagine they will have to meet today or tomorrow, since the last day to enroll at Ole Miss is Friday. I give him a 25% chance of getting in.

WAYNESBORO – Ole Miss recruit Jerrell Powe and his family of Waynesboro have consulted with a Jackson Law Firm to help him with his appeal to the NCAA on his eligibility.
The Powe family has engaged the services of Jim Carroll and his law firm of Jackson.
Carroll represented former Ole Miss football coach Billy Brewer when the former head coach sued the University of Mississippi in 1994 for early termination of his contract for NCAA rules violations.
Carroll’s law firm has dealt with the NCAA in the past and also has experience in civil rights, human rights,. and the American Educational Disability Act.
The former Parade All-American from Wayne County High School is seeking a hearing with the NCAA regarding their denying him his eligibility for this upcoming football season.
Powe was denied admission to the University last week based on the fact that the NCAA Clearinghouse had not cleared him for participation in athletics at Ole Miss.
Today, Powe’s lawyers should be in contact with the NCAA. There was no contact of any kind with the NCAA on Monday.
