UVA Starting QB Sewell Not Enrolled for Spring Semester


Flying under the radar with all the NFL news is a story of significance for next year in ACC football. Jameel Sewell, UVA's starting quarterback, is not enrolled for the spring semester, and the rumors are that it's an academic problem. According to the early reports (here and here), if he's not enrolled this semester, he won't be able to play next fall. Stay tuned as this could significantly affect UVA's chances next year, along with Groh's coaching staff being hired elsewhere. As a Terp, I'm smiling because the Cavs won't be as good with Lalich in there full time, but it's too bad to see Sewell out because he couldn't manage to go to class.

UPDATE: It is academics, as confirmed by this Richmond rag, and a decision is expected by Wednesday from the school regarding what he has to do to be eligible to re-enroll.

Sounds like awesome news to me. As a Clemson Tigers, UVa was the only team on our schedule outside of WF that I thought would give us trouble. Now as long as we win the games we should win [which looking at our team and our schedule, should be ALL OF THEM], Jacksonville here we come...

TOPolk, that sounds good, Clemson can go to Jacksonville for the Gator Bowl.

Maryland fans would like to see our team go to Tampa (where the ACC Championship Game is in 2008) and then on to Miami for the Orange Bowl.

I am not sure the ACC should want their conference to be less competitive. So Maryland has an easier road to the Orange Bowl... is that going to help them not get blown out once they get there.

I didn't realize the Championship Game was out of Jacksonville. Thank God.
