    The NCAA Hardship Waver Change

    The NCAA’s Leadership Council is making waves this week. The biggest headline from its annual meeting was the elimination on all food limits for players. Next up? An alteration in transfer guidelines. This isn’t a massive revision, but rather a tweak coaches have lobbied for in the past couple of years. And the rule change is not official yet.

According to the Eagles, they informed Jackson of their decision to release him after “careful consideration.” The announcement came soon after a chilling NJ.com report stated that the Eagles were concerned with “Jackson’s continued association with reputed Los Angeles street gang members who have been connected to two homicides since 2010.” “They are concerned about having him around the younger players,” a source told NJ.com.
