NCAA will have to be big time hypocrites to give the waiver…they just turned down a kid w the ill Grandmother.
Reason(s) was not only distance(within 100 miles) but also not in the “Nuclear Family”.
Cal did just hire Mark Fox, maybe he can use that.
I always get a chuckle out of the whole “transferring due to a sick relative” line. Why do the kids NEVER end up in a city (college) where the relative ACTUALLY lives? It’s all about exploiting a loophole!
Maybe. But the NCAA sure had a big hand in dethroning us. The awful Adebayo/Pate decision that they amazingly later overturned and the ban on JUCO recruiting (which was very fruitful for us at the time) were huge setbacks.
Pate and Adebayo with what we had in ‘96 would have extended our run in the Top 10. I hate the NCAA. It’s a cowardly, hypocritical organization that doesn’t try to value enforcement and is completely inconsistent.
There was a big stink about the NCAA denying a kid trying to transfer to VA Tech from Coastal Carolina whose Mother had a brain tumor removed because the rules state it must be within 100 miles from the person’s location and the school was 105 miles away. There is no rhyme or reason how they doe these
