Damian Tate has New Home?
Yes, one our prized recruits who did not enroll at Tulane, who we all thought was headed to a JC, tweeted that he is now a student athletic at Grambling. Amazing
Re: Damian Tate has New Home?
Don't FCS schools have similar Clearinghouse requirements that FBS schools have? (I don't know. I'm asking.) If so and he is eligible immediately then should we infer that he did not meet Tulane admit requirements while satisfying NCAA ones?
Regardless, he is going to a Louisiana college and I wish him well. Hope he finishes with a diploma and does not leave early.

Re: Damian Tate has New Home?
His issue was an NCAA issue from what I remember. FCS may have different requirements than FBS.

Re: Damian Tate has New Home?
FBS and FCS have similar clearinghouse requirements. There are two possibilities: 1) he became eligible and can play immediately or 2) he qualified as an academic redshirt...meaning he can attend school but cannot play this year. FBS schools do not take (and possibly cannot) academic redshirts. I think that might be what happened and why he's at an FCS school instead of a JUCO.
This one belongs to the Wave.
