Andy Staples roasting Steve Sarkisian, Longhorn fans for eligibility hypocrisy

The college football world is abuzz after a recent ruling that has granted Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia an extra year of eligibility. Pavia's waiver was initially denied by the NCAA, but after he took them to court, an injunction was granted that allowed him to exercise that final year.

This is a win for everyone who enjoys watching a guy like Pavia play; a QB who is fiery, all heart, and makes a program like Vandy exciting after years of doldrums. However, not everyone is that pleased with the decision.

One of those people is Texas coach Steve Sarkisian, who said he "totally disagree[s]" with the ruling. His reasoning was that this would open the door for much older players to play college football, which is a bridge too far for him.

It's worth mentioning that Sarkisian played his college football at BYU, a program that routinely features some of the oldest players in FBS. Many BYU players go on missions for eighteen months to two years, during which none of their eligibility is exhausted, and therefore can play to a much older age than your usual college football player.

It's also worth noting that Diego Pavia almost beat Steve Sarkisian's team earlier this year, and with Vandy once again on the schedule for the Longhorns, I can't imagine that Sark is eager to see him again.

Andy Staples, a college football writer for On3, pointed out this irony— or hypocrisy— in a tweet.

This did not sit well with Longhorn fans (surprise, surprise), who lashed back out after having their notoriously thin skin bruised by Staples' jab. Andy himself responded to a few of the complaints pretty hilariously:

Again, you get why Texas fans wouldn't want to face off with Pavia again. But when they're making such risible points to try to argue against an obvious joke, it's funny to see them taken down like this.
