Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 3301032, member: 15"] Here's a pretty good summary of the process. It's from a Wisconsin State Journal article about a UW player seeking a waiver. [SIZE=5][B][I]The process[/I][/B][/SIZE] [I]The organization doesn’t comment on specific cases, but NCAA officials answered questions from the State Journal about the transfer waiver process in general in an effort to clear up any confusion. According to one official: Once an institution submits a transfer waiver, typically a team of between 8-12 NCAA staff members initially discusses the case and reaches a consensus before rendering a decision. A rationale for the decision is given to the institution. If the waiver is denied, an institution can appeal the decision to the NCAA Division I Committee for Legislative Relief. That group includes seven voting members made up of Division I athletic department, compliance and conference officials from around the country. After reviewing the waiver documents electronically, the committee can discuss the case further before taking a vote. Majority rules, though the NCAA doesn’t provide information to the institution about how the vote played out. Another twist: Members can recuse themselves from a case if there’s a perceived conflict of interest, so there’s a chance a vote could end in a 3-3 tie. In that case, the original ruling by the team of NCAA staff members is upheld. According to the NCAA official, the CLR’s ruling is the final appellate opportunity for an institution. But there have been instances where cases can be reconsidered if some type of new information is presented that was not available at the time of the original submission of the waiver. If that happens, the case goes back to the team of NCAA staff members. If the waiver is once again denied, the institution can appeal the decision to the CLR once again.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://madison.com/wsj/sports/college/basketball/men/badgers-micah-potter-appeals-ncaa-s-eligibility-ruling/article_6f4f6bc8-6734-558b-8b8a-28c3f0214e63.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
