I don't remember seeing the transfer fairness police howling when Natalie Romeo got immediate eligibility to play at Washington.  Or when Leti Romero got immediate eligibility at Florida State.  Or when Chatrice White got immediate eligibility at Florida State.

There can be all manner of personal reasons that would cause someone to want to transfer.  If you make the contents of transfer requests public, it is going to discourage people from applying for waivers because they don't want their personal business aired.  So the NCAA is never going to disclose the contents of waiver requests, nor should they.  And it certainly isn't incumbent upon Shepard to voluntarily air her personal business to mollify people who don't like Notre Dame.

Is it problematic that the NCAA decides these things pretty much in secret with no transparency? Perhaps.  Are the transfer rules completely messed up and in desperate need of a re-write.? Arguably.  But this is the system that is in place.  Shepard is just the latest and highest profile to get a waiver as result of it.  But she's certainly not the first.
