Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3697972, member: 10"] We had some discussion about this when Martin was asking for a transfer waiver. Read the story linked below and tell me how the NCAA could continue to use this system. Basically the school that the player transfers from holds all the power whether a student athlete gets his waiver or not. Even if they lie. Just like many of the NCAA rules, this is just pure stupidity. I hope this kid sues the NCAA and the school he transferred from. Some lawyer should take this case. [I]After talking to Owens and Corbin, I believed Miami had taken a reasonable position and had provided a justifiable basis to withhold support of Sibande's waiver request. Here's the problem: Miami wasn't telling me the truth. After I talked to Owens and Corbin, ESPN obtained [URL='https://g.espncdn.com/s/ffldraftkit/20/201004PDF2.pdf']the documentation for Sibande's waiver request[/URL], [URL='https://g.espncdn.com/s/ffldraftkit/20/201004PDF1.pdf']Miami's response to the waiver request[/URL] and [URL='https://g.espncdn.com/s/ffldraftkit/20/201004PDF3.pdf']Sibande's appeal to the denial[/URL]. Sibande's Aug. 13 waiver request did not state, reference, mention or imply that he had been "run off," did not have a spot on the roster or was unwelcome to return. The basis for Sibande's waiver request was the continued care of his infant daughter, Oaklynn, who has relocated to Pittsburgh along with her mother, and Sibande's concerns regarding COVID-19 on the Miami campus.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/30042106/nike-sibande-case-shines-light-ncaa-broken-transfer-waiver-system[/URL] [/QUOTE]
