Jordan Daniels played one year at Boston College then transferred and played the last 2 seasons at Drake. He graduated last spring, and now is attending graduate school at a small Division II school in California, where he'd like to play 1 more year. However, he is at the center of an eligibility case now being decided by the NCAA.
Before his second season at Boston College, he participated in 2 preseason scrimmage games on a summer tour, because he was told by his coach and others at Boston College that playing in the scrimmages would not affect his eligibility if he chose to redshirt or transfer that season, which he did after the first semester.
However, that advice was incorrect, and the NCAA now says he lost that year of eligilibity just for participating in those 2 preseason scrimmages. He has appealed to the NCAA asking for another year of eligibility, but no decision has come yet, leaving him in limbo. Even his former coach at BC has written a letter in support of him claiming he misinterpreted the rules.

Technically, the NCAA rules do state that participation in preseason scrimmages constitute loss of eligibility for the entire year, however, the NCAA has allowed waivers for a number of previous players who have done the same thing.
