Message: [QUOTE="CocoHusky, post: 2552911, member: 5823"] Couple of knowledge gaps here: Bollant initially survived the discriminations allegations and law suit and was allowed to coach an addition year at Illinois. Only an assistant coach was fired I believe. One of the people making the allegations was Taylor Tuck, Morgan's sister. Taylor graduated from Illinois. Two other Illinois players Jacqui Grant & Amarah Coleman transferred to DePaul. A third Illinois player Taylor Gleason transferring to Oakland University. [B]ALL three[/B] Illinois players involved in the discrimination suit against Bollant had to sit out a year after transferring. Chatrice White & Brooke Kissinger played an additional season after the discrimination charges against Bollant. Kissinger transferred to Creighton at the same time Chatrice transferred to FSU. Kissinger had to sit a year at Creighton, White was granted a waiver request by the NCAA. White & her father vocally supported Bollant. Illinois "likely" supported White’s waiver request -aka thanks for supporting the coach. The NCAA is not being biased IMO it is being stupid. If the circumstances were bad enough for White to get a waiver then it should have been bad enough to grant the players involved in the suit the same protection. In fairness I have no idea if Kissinger or any of the other players involved in the suit requested a waiver. Regardless, it is not a good luck when the only person transferring that receives a waiver is the one that so vocally supported the coach. Natalie Butler was not the only player to transfer from Georgetown as a result of that very messy coaching situation in Nat's Freshmen year. Shyla Cooper also transferred to tOSU after the first semester. Both Shyla and Natalie had to sit a year so there is at least consistency. To the best of my knowledge neither player pursued a waiver request. Regarding Azura Geno was quoted as saying UCONN looked into the waiver request and decided not to pursue it because [I]“there was nothing there and it would have been dishonest to make someone think there was.” [/I] [/QUOTE]
