Message: [QUOTE="cancontent, post: 5313989, member: 10709"] From an article by MItchell Northam earlier this month. " The question now for Pierre is, can she find a new program and can she play this upcoming season? By NCAA rules, doing so would require waivers granting special permission. The transfer portal closed in April and players who transfer after that date are supposed to sit out a full season before being eligible to take the court again. However, multiple sources — including player agents and coaches around the SEC — told SB Nation that there are loopholes Pierre could potentially exploit to play this upcoming season. One way is to simply transfer to a new school, like any typical student, without having any contact with the basketball staff there. Then, once Pierre is accepted to and enrolled in that new school, she could be added to the roster as a walk-on and — hypothetically — be compensated with funds from revenue sharing made possible by the House Settlement. Sources also said that the NCAA may be more willing to give Pierre a waiver to transfer and immediately play if Vanderbilt removed her from the team. On the flipside, if it was Pierre’s decision to leave the program, the NCAA is less likely to be empathetic when considering a waiver. The statement from Ralph ambiguously frames which party made the decision, or if it was mutual. However, [URL='https://247sports.com/college/vanderbilt/article/khamil-pierre-dismissed-from-vanderbilt-womens-basketball-program-251392966/']Vandy247 reported[/URL] that Pierre was “dismissed” from the team."
