A UM appeals committee has modified the athletic department’s rules restricting departing quarterback Evan Shirreffs’ ability to play immediately at several schools that interest him.
Shirreffs’ father told CBS Sports this week that the UM appeals committee, which isn’t affiliated with the Hurricanes’ athletic department, has partly reversed the athletic department’s decision and that the quarterback is now immediately eligible to play at three Atlantic Coast Conference schools.
UM’s athletic department had ruled that Shirreffs, who decided to transfer in pursuit of more playing time, could not
play immediately at any other ACC school or any non-ACC schools on UM’s schedule in 2018 or 2019.
