Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 3280337, member: 10"] Another waiver granted. I don't know what the "unspecified circumstances" were on this one. [I]Iowa State guard [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4397242/rasir-bolton']Rasir Bolton[/URL] will be eligible for the upcoming season, a move that should vastly improve the Cyclones' chances of competing for an NCAA tournament berth in 2019-20. The Cyclones announced Tuesday that Bolton, who averaged 11.6 points per game last season as a freshman at Penn State, was granted an NCAA waiver for immediate eligibility. [/I][B][I]Iowa State said the NCAA considered unspecified circumstances surrounding his transfer from the Nittany Lions.[/I][/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/27694094/iowa-st-transfer-bolton-granted-19-20-eligibility[/URL] Not much on why he got a waiver. [I]No one has publicly disclosed details of what was included in NCAA correspondence that sought a waiver of what’s basically an undefined rule. He’d not been injured. There wasn’t a change of coaches. There’s no major illness in the family that would cause him to want to transfer, yet he wanted out of Happy Valley to immediately begin his eligibility clock elsewhere. At least two people with knowledge and close to the situation have said that Penn State also submitted documentation to the NCAA, supporting Bolton’s request for immediate eligibility.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/college/iowa-state/randy-peterson/2019/09/24/iowa-state-cyclones-basketball-ncaa-rules-rasir-bolton-can-play-immediately-penn-state-eligibility/1968186001/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
