Shea Patterson’s attorney reacts to Ole Miss objection, gives updated decision timeline

It has been a long and winding road for Michigan transfer quarterback Shea Patterson on his journey seeking eligibility for the 2018.

The Ole Miss athletic department and Athletic Director Ross Bjork made things more difficult for Patterson recently, when they formally objected to his waiver request, stating it isn’t legitimate.

“We would not oppose a waiver of the year in residence requirement based on a legitimate reason for any student-athlete who wants to transfer from Ole Miss,” Bjork said in a statement earlier this week.

Maize n Brew spoke with Patterson’s lawyer, Thomas Mars, and he, of course, strongly disagrees with the Ole Miss objection.
