Brandon Warren Denied Appeal

It's finally over. A Florida State faculty panel convened to examine student-athlete Brandon Warren's appeal of a denial of his transfer request released its decision to the university on Monday.

The panel, made up of three members of the FSU faculty and chaired by Joe Beckham, delivered the following written decision. “It is the determination of the faculty panel that the information presented by Brandon Warren does not rise to the level of 'objective evidence that proves the student-athlete's extraordinary personal hardship' and is insufficient to support his appeal of the NCAA and FSU transfer policy. Panel members were unanimous in their conclusions that the appeal should be denied and the transfer rule should be enforced.”

I think this was the correct decision. Warren's actions in this matter were underhanded and not worthy of being granted an appeal.
