So the waiver group is pushing immediate eligibility for transfers. The board has agreed to put it to a vote next month, but opposes it. Did I get that right?
The board’s stated reason is student athlete welfare during the pandemic, but their concern is that schools that can’t promise to be open in the fall will lose their players to schools that will make that promise. I’m pretty sure that’s right.
My guess is that everyone who transferred this offseason ends up getting a waiver for COVID or basically misinformation (my coach said the waiver is going through). I think they hold off on doing a blanket waiver officially to not upset the apple cart so to speak during this tumultuous offseason.
That sounds like a reasonable guess, although has Covid-19 been an arguable factor in any transfers so far other than the players moving close to home? I do wonder what they will do if there’s a late rush of transfers? It seems this statement was meant to slow things down.
So are they expecting a near unanimous acceptance of waivers? If so thats going to mean there could still be a second waive of transfers coming. That’d be positive regarding Michigan filling a perimeter spot and if Livers leaves, a frontcourt spot.
Sounds very NCAA – we’re allowing this thing that we’re not allowing, which isn’t appropriate at this time, but may be appropriate at another time when conditions aren’t different than they are now, but for now we need to allow ourselves a degree of arbitrary control over what is allowed as well as over what is not allowed.
Will be interesting to see the ramifications as to how this affects draft decisions.
Wasn’t it always assumed there would be no combine?
Yeah but now it’s official. I would assume now we might see some clarification as to dates when players have to withdraw and other stuff like that. IIRC it was initially just supposed to be a week after the combine.
Indefinitely postponed and canceled are not the same thing. We know they will still hold the draft lottery that’s mentioned with the combine. I won’t assume the combine is canceled until the NBA explicitly says so. I will assume they are giving themselves a short time frame to decide.
Right but regardless they can’t indefinitely postpone the deadline for college players to withdraw so it’s just going to be interesting to see how it all shakes out. I would think that in a week or two we’ll know a lot more though.
The speed at which this process takes place is deplorable. Everybody Lawyer up and fight it out in court 3-4 years later…
I love these two paragraphs…lets start another independent…BLAH BLAH BLAH!
“Louisville officials and the former coaches have 90 days to respond to the NCAA. Athletic director Vince Tyra said during a teleconference with reporters on Monday that the university could elect to adjudicate the case through the NCAA’s newly created Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP), which includes investigators and hearing officers with no direct ties to the NCAA or its member schools. The IARP is handling a similar case involving NC State. Its decisions are final and there are no appeals.”
And this…from a noted CHEATING SCHOOL!
“It is important to remember that these are allegations – not facts – and the University will diligently prepare a full and comprehensive response and, absent an unforeseen development, submit it within the prescribed ninety-day period," the Louisville statement said. "For those allegations that are proven to be factual, the University will take responsibility, as accountability is one of our core Cardinal Principles.”
This happened in 2017, if the NCAA really had any authority this would be a priority! NOT! ALL BS! CHEAT AWAY!
High school stars weigh G League option as means to prepare for NBA
NCAA deems Kansas’ alleged violations ‘egregious’
I think that’s just a typo. ``E-gregarious" is the category used for digital violations of contact violations that are unlikely to be punished.
Still can’t figure out how Jalen went from one of the cleanest coaches in the Game to one of the dirtiest programs / coaches out there.
I know not every player / Kansas recruit is dirty and I’m sure they get some guys straight but it just seemed so odd. Add in the fact that he had pretty much a zero chance of seeing the floor/ getting minutes last year and it was such a weird move.?
Self’s track record of developing wings isn’t great either. That’s being nice about it. Juwan with zero head coaching experience had about the same.
He grew up in Big 12 country and Kansas has dominated that conference.
Found this ad podcast about nil interesting, specifically that the two small school ads (Gonzaga and winthrop) support no guard rails for nil while Alabama’s ad seems to want them.
In case you missed it Wake hired Forbes as their Mens Head Coach.
Lol truth hurts
