In a statement released on their website, the NCAA announced that the Subcommittee for Legislative Relief has overturned the decision to deny Masoli's waiver and that the quarterback will be eligible to play immediately.
As in the release, the NCAA staff received the waiver request from Ole Miss on Aug. 13 and received the final piece of information from the school on the evening of Aug. 30. After considering that final piece of information, the NCAA staff issued its decision the morning of Aug. 31. The appeal decision was given three days later.
The successful appeal allows Masoli play in the Rebels' season opener against Jacksonville State. It's uncertain whether Masoli or Nathan Stanley will start Saturday, although Masoli is expected to be a major contributor to the offense whether he starts or not.
