I know this belongs in the Transfers thread but I thought he was a high enough profile name to get his own thread.
the former Oregon quarterback has sent his scholarship release papers to the University of Mississippi.
Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt confirmed to the Memphis newspaper that he has received Masoli's paperwork. Nutt said a week ago that he had no interest in bringing Masoli into his program.
Because Masoli has completed his undergraduate degree at Oregon, he is eligible to transfer and play this season.

Fast-forward to a few days ago: Ole Miss quarterback Raymond Cotton leaves the team to go to South Alabama's startup football program. This leaves Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt in a bind, as he only has two scholarship quarterbacks on the roster—sophomore Nathan Stanley and JUCO transfer Randall Mackey.
The announcement of Cotton's departure came with the news that Masoli sent Ole Miss his scholarship release papers, meaning if Coach Nutt will allow it, Masoli will be eligible to transfer to Ole Miss, provided he enrolls in a graduate program Oregon does not offer.

Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone said there’s “no timetable for a (Masoli) decision” as of 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon.
“there’s not one thing we’re worried about or that’s holding this up. We’re discussing several different issues.”
“In athletics, we always want to get things done quickly. But we have to do our research.”

I know NUtt said he had no interest in Masoli, but you better believe he's going to have increased pressure to accpet him especially from the Boosters, the AD and the fans because let's face it, he's pretty good and College Football is a religion in the South.
