YPSILANTI -- Eastern Michigan's football team will be playing in its first bowl game since 1987 on Dec. 23, but redshirt junior offensive lineman Dan Samuelson will not be making the trip.

Samuelson

Samuelson, who transferred to Eastern Michigan from the University of Michigan this season, voiced his frustration with the NCAA on social media when he learned he is not allowed to travel with the team to the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl.

Michigan tight end Jake Butt tweeted a screenshot of Samuelson's lengthy Facebook post, writing, "Posted by a former teammate. Can the NCAA get anything right? Probably not. Common sense? Zero."

The NCAA states on its transfer terms page that, "Under the basic transfer regulations, you must spend an academic year in residence at the school to which you are transferring. If you transfer from a four-year college to an NCAA school, you must complete one academic year in residence at the new school before you can play for or receive travel expenses from the new school, unless you qualify for a transfer exception or waiver. To satisfy an academic year in residence, you must be enrolled in and successfully complete a full-time program of studies for two-full semesters or three-full quarters. Summer school terms and part-time enrollment do not count toward fulfilling an academic year in residence."
