Maddox Kopp — a quarterback who started the Buffaloes’ last game in 2022 — was in the front row last December, among those suddenly told their services were no longer needed by Coach Prime. He and dozens of his teammates were basically told to transfer elsewhere so Sanders had room for his “Louis.”
But after transferring to Miami (Ohio), Kopp has become the latest waiver warrior in a controversial transition of another kind. Kopp was recently denied a waiver request by the NCAA to transfer a second time as he sought immediate eligibility with the RedHawks. He began his career at Houston in 2021 as a three-star prospect. Kopp then transferred to CU in January 2022.
[The] NCAA ruled he couldn’t play right away at Miami (Ohio). The quarterback, his family and their attorney sought a waiver citing learning disabilities and a “totality of circumstances including runoff and public and private statements made by the head coach,” that attorney, Jason Montgomery, told CBS Sports.
Joel Klatt was ranting on his podcast about an inbound CU player that was stuck in the NCAA waiver twilight zone. I wonder if he cares as much about the other direction. (In all seriousness, I’m sure he does, because he hates the NCAA as much as anyone)
