I believe that Notre Dame did nothing improper in submitting the waiver petition for Shepard and that the NCAA decision to grant the waiver was BS.  Muffet used the word "hardship" multiple times to describe the the waiver petition.  That type of waiver petition had been used to describe situations where student-athletes transferred to be closer to home (typically family illness) and the NCAA publicly announced that it was eliminating hardship waivers.  Yet, here comes Muffet talking hardship waiver when the player moves away from her hometown school!!   You can't make this stuff up.

Maybe there were extenuating personal reasons to justify the waiver request, and maybe that explanation is just cover for the NCAA doing Notre Dame a favor.  Therein lies the problem.   We as fans don't know and, journalists don't know and, most importantly, other coaches don't know.   Part of me hopes the NCAA denies Cooper's request just so I can listen to Dawn's reaction.

Because of the mess the NCAA has made of the entire process I now favor immediate eligibility for all transfers.
