The NCAA on Thursday denied 2023 eligibility for North Carolina wide receiver Devontez Walker, drawing pointed criticism from UNC and head coach Mack Brown.
"I don't know that I've ever been more disappointed in a person, a group of people, or an institution than I am with the NCAA right now," Brown wrote in a statement."It's clear that the NCAA is about process and it couldn't care less about the young people it's supposed to be supporting."
The NCAA on Jan. 11 voted to tighten rules for two-time transfers requiring them to"adequately document a personal need for medical or safety reasons to depart the previous school" to be eligible to play the season that they transfer. Walker made his decision to transfer on Jan. 9. “The first and main reason I decided to transfer from Kent State was the stress and anxiety I was feeling being away from my home while my grandmother deals with health issues," Walker's statement read."She is my rock, my everything, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without her."
