And then you would need a transfer to appeal to play next year and no way a kid kicked out of school would get a waiver.
Outpatient treatment in Manhattan. Does Lucas have an office or associates up here?
I don't think we get involved, but I think the best way to beat the NCAA waiver dictators is to shame them. Make it about mental health/betterment of the student-athlete and let the bad press take over from there if kid is denied.
Reading between lines IMO, the NCAA will likely eliminate waivers for fifth year transfers and other kids choosing to leave. Everyone would sit a year. Too much craziness and subjectivity in current system. If this is changed, I have no idea when.
I thought there was talk of eliminating the waiting period and allowing kids to transfer once. Maybe that was just kids going home within a certain radius to their home. I remember posting something but can't find it.
"Well, there appears to be a movement in process to try to get some of those transfer waivers eliminated, according to John Infante of the ByLaw Blog. A year ago, the push was to try and get punishment for transferring eliminated. But the opposite was true at October’s NCAA Division I Leadership Council meeting:
At that October meeting, the Leadership Council directed the subcommittee to focus on two concepts:
To require all student-athletes in FBS football, basketball, baseball, and men’s ice hockey to sit out for one year following a transfer, eliminating the opportunity to earn immediately eligibility through the waiver process.
To require graduate transfers in FBS football, basketball, baseball, and men’s ice hockey to sit out for one year following a transfer, potentially eliminating both the graduate transfer waiver and graduate transfer exception.
There’s no guarantee that any of this ends up being an NCAA rule. Remember, it was only ten months earlier that the opposite was discussed.
But it is interesting to note which direction we are trending here."
@CBTonNBC: Could we be seeing a change in how transfer waivers are enforced?
