Even if you are not a Virginia Tech Hokie, you can get behind Hokie offensive lineman @BrockHoffman76 and the injustice served by your friendly NCAA.

It’s is shameful what the NCAA is doing to this young man and his family. While other collegiate football players have asked for and received waivers for basically seemingly nothing other than playing time.
I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and not call out some of those particular players, but certainly Hoffman’s waiver request is as legitimate as they come.
That’s clear.
Just spoke with Brock Hoffman. Said he was shocked by NCAA’s denial of his waiver and that he and his family plan to reach out to the lawyer who helped Tate Martell. Didn’t seek legal representation for initial waiver because they thought it was such an obvious approval. #Hokies

Even normally impartial media members and non-Virginia Tech fans are stunned and disappointed by this decision.
If Brock Hoffman had complained about a coaching change (which happened at Coastal Carolina) or “unfair” circumstances the NCAA likely would have granted his immediate eligibility…But because his Mom is “doing better” since having BRAIN SURGERY to remove a tumor its a hard No https://t.co/nxovUIQuqw

@NCAA please reconsider Brock Hoffman’s waiver request to Virginia Tech because of his mother’s brain surgery in a nearby hospital and recovery accommodations.

NCAA curiously (laughably?) denies Brock Hoffman’s appeal for immediate eligibility at Virginia Tech #collegefootball https://t.co/Ft372KVwl8

Ok NCAA, you still have time to correct this obvious mistake. Do the right the thing, and grant Hoffman his eligibility.
