Don't understand your point, Russell could have come to us, he wasn't barred by the SEC.  He choose Wisconsin because in his infinite wisdom Chizik wouldn't guarantee him the starting spot.  I mean can you blame him he would have had to compete with Kadizil and Moseley.
And if he would've signed he would've been the last player allowed to do so by the SEC...

Entering last week, four proposals were tied to the SEC's quest of better controlling oversigning in football. A fifth one oddly attached itself to the hot-button topic when SEC Commissioner Mike Slive announced new policies last Friday.

 Call it the Jeremiah Masoli rule.

 The SEC ended its graduate-student exception allowing players who have graduated to transfer into an SEC school and play their final season of eligibility immediately.

There were about six or seven athletes in the SEC who took advantage of the graduate-transfer rule last year, SEC Associate Commissioner Greg Sankey said. Because the rule won't go into effect until October, free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson could still play at Auburn in 2011.

 Graduate-student free agency never sat well with the SEC, which initially voted against it in 2006. Many people in the SEC, including Slive, felt the rule wasn't in their best interests.

Interesting, I don't think I ever saw that rule happen.  So saban exploits a loophole again, go figure.

I don't understand.

That article says it's no longer allowed, no?

What's the loophole? How is Bama getting their own set of rules this time?

I don't think it's his "final season" of eligibility but I'm not certain. I will use this new web site called googles to find out.

Googles carried me to the following, (which appears to be a valid source):

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.'
