Matthew Baldwin Won't Be Eligible to Play Immediately for TCU, But Is It Because of Circumstance or Bad Timing?

As we relayed to you fine people yesterday afternoon, our good friend Matthew Baldwin was denied immediate eligibility to play for TCU in 2020, having transferred there from Ohio State this past April.

Those fans not living under rocks will note that the process with which Matthew Baldwin attempted to use to get playing time in 2020 is the same process that presumptive Buckeye starter Justin Fields and assumptive Miami starter Tate Martell used to go to their new digs and gain immediate playing time.

Congrats to them, because as Kevin pointed out yesterday, the NCAA updated its rules in June to ostensibly make it more difficult to obtain a waiver allowing a player to get in the field immediately.
