Middle Tennessee quarterback Jamal Ramsey has quit the team for personal reasons, but the team has not yet granted his release.
According to the Daily News Journal, Ramsey wants to transfer to Tennessee State for family reasons and a release would allow him to play during the 2010-11 season. Without the release, Ramsey would have to wait until the 2011 season to be eligible.
Ramsey has a 14-month-old son that lives a few miles from the Tennessee State campus where the mother is a student.
Ramsey did seek an appeal from the NCAA to gain a release, but the appeal was rejected on May 27 and turned back over to Middle Tennessee officials.
Ramsey, who is already enrolled in classes at Tennessee State, redshirted last year and would have four years to play.

It’s the last week of the season for many teams and, for several, the last chance to wrap up division and conference titles. It’s hard to pick which matchup I’m most looking forward to seeing -- probably East Carolina and Southern Miss -- but Friday's game between Boise State and Nevada should be interesting as well. And don't forget the MAC East game between Temple and Ohio, which should be a doozy.
I went 7-3 last week to bring my season record to 86-36. That’s a 70 percent average for those scoring at home. I’m hoping to bring it up to 71 percent after this week. Lucky for me, I’ll wipe the slate clean for championship week and bowls.
Temple 26, Ohio 21: The battle for the MAC East title comes down to this one game. Temple has been one of the hottest teams in the country, winning nine straight after losing their first two. However, Ohio has battled its way into this position and won’t give up title without a fight. Temple’s running game has been tough to stop all season and that’s what does Ohio in this week.
Wyoming 24, Colorado State 20: The Battle for the Bronze Boot could mean a bowl berth for Wyoming if they can pull out a victory in Fort Collins, Colo. The Rams have won four of the last five meetings, but have yet to win a conference game this year. Wyoming is coming off a bad loss to TCU, but Cowboys have been able to beat the lower teams in the conference this season.
Bowling Green 31, Toledo 24: This is a rivalry game, but only Bowling Green is playing for something other than pride. The Falcons need a win to notch seven victories on the season and earn a bowl berth. Toledo has been beaten up the past couple weeks and is playing a freshman quarterback. Bowling Green has won three consecutive games since its bye week.
Boise State 34, Nevada 24: A lot of people are expecting this to be a high scoring game, but I’m going against the grain. The Nevada running game will be going against the toughest run defense it’s faced this season. The run game will wear down the clock, which will keep the scoring low. The key for Nevada will be controlling the Boise State passing game, which is one of the best in the country. The Nevada secondary has been one of the weaker spots of the team.
TCU 51, New Mexico 10: TCU needs this win to secure an outright Mountain West title and a BCS berth. The Horned Frogs didn’t get up for their game against Wyoming last week and still walked away with a 45-10 win. The same could happen this week, though I think the defense will play inspired since its senior day for players such as defensive end Jerry Hughes and linebacker Daryl Washington.
Southern Miss 27, East Carolina 26: This game could really go either way because these teams are pretty even. I’m going with Southern Miss because I picked the Golden Eagles to win the East title back in the summer. They have a better quarterback and a more consistent running game. The key will be turnovers and which team’s defense shows up to play.
BYU 24, Utah 20: For the first time since the 2005 season, this game will not decide the conference champion, but it’s still the Holy War and there’s still a lot of emotions at stake as these teams battle for second place in the conference. BYU gets the edge because it’s a veteran team and it’s playing at home, but Utah has played well all season and BYU has buckled in pressure games at home this year.
Louisiana-Monroe 30, Middle Tennessee 28: This is the upset special of the week. Louisiana-Monroe is playing for its bowl life in this game. It needs a seventh win to guarantee a postseason spot. Middle Tennessee has been great this season, but the Warhawks are the best team the Blue Raiders have faced in awhile and with so much on the line, ULM will give MTSU a run for its money.
Troy 31, Louisiana-Lafayette 24: The Trojans are on verge of history. They could finish the conference season undefeated for the first time and win their second outright conference title. Louisiana-Lafayette has put itself in a position to go to a bowl game with a win, but Troy has dominated every Sun Belt team it has faced and this shouldn’t be any different.
Houston 40, Rice 20: The Battle for the Bayou Bucket is just as intriguing as it was a year ago. Last year, Rice knocked Houston out of contention for the C-USA West title and could do so again with a win. Houston has struggled against some of its conference opponents and Rice, which has won its last two games, will have a little bit of a swagger coming in.

Rock Stockstill would be the first to acknowledge that he didn’t expect his Middle Tennessee team to be where it is with just two games remaining in the regular season.
The Blue Raiders are 7-3, their most wins since 2006, and are 5-1 in Sun Belt Conference play with their only conference loss to leader Troy. But how the Blue Raiders achieved these feats is what has Stockstill most impressed.
Middle Tennessee entered the season with a new offensive system, a new offensive coordinator and a new quarterback. Early in the first game, it had to turn to a backup running back who had never played a down. It was hit with a slew of injuries at receiver and had turned to walk-ons for production.
“I think at this point, after 10 games, I don’t know that I could realistically sit here and say we’d be 7-3,” Stockstill said. “If you’d told me all of that at the beginning of the year and then said after 10 games you would have beaten Maryland on the road, beaten Memphis, been 5-1 in your conference and 7-3, I would have said I don’t know if that’s possible.”
Stockstill gives all the credit to the resiliency of his players. They’ve been beaten back several times this season only to come back stronger. The most crucial loss of the season, and one that will likely cost them a conference title, was against Troy at the beginning of the conference season. Middle Tennessee came into the game as the hottest team in the conference and Troy manhandled them 31-7. Stockstill said his team could have easily packed it in after that game, but came back determined to make the season memorable.
“After we lost to Troy, I just told myself that we needed to just keep practicing hard,” quarterback Dwight Dasher said. “I had a bad game that game, a real bad game. I think that was the worst game I’ve ever played in my life to be honest. But I told myself to keep practicing hard and get better at the little things.”
Dasher has been the biggest success story because of his ability to adapt to offensive coordinator Tony Franklin’s spread scheme. Dasher was known for his athleticism more than his passing ability, but he’s been able to refine both throughout the course of the season, Dasher currently ranks fifth in the country in total offense with 304 yards per game. And while he’s disappointed that he’s thrown 11 interceptions to go with 15 touchdowns, he said the patience the coaching staff has shown in him has paid dividends.
“Dwight has everything you want in a quarterback from the neck down,” Stockstill said. “He’s got to make his next step from the shoulders up. And he’s really done that. He’s done a pretty good job the whole year of protecting the football. He’s gotten a lot better from a leadership standpoint. He continues to improve his practice habits each day and each week and he’s reaping the benefits of his hard work right now.”
Middle Tennessee’s focus now is on finishing out its last two games against Arkansas State and Louisiana-Monroe. Stockstill said he’s told his players that a conference title could still be out there, but he doesn’t want his team to focus on anything but itself. The Blue Raiders would need Troy to lose to share the title.
“We have no control over if somebody beats Troy,” Stockstill said. “We have nothing to do with that. We try to worry about ourselves. We don’t talk a lot. That’s what we can control and our guys have really bought in and done a great job with that and staying focused and staying the course and not looking further ahead.”
