Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 2397641, member: 38"] These days, you can basically change your mind right up until the moment you land on campus. But when you enroll, you can’t unring the bell. That’s fair. You can still transfer and you can still get your education paid for and practice with your new team...you just can’t play. Once you crack the rule for an exception, the rule is meaningless - it’s no longer fair for anyone. Is Thad Matta getting fired a better reason than Sid Wilson dealing with his mother’s loss? I don’t think so. And then if you grant those two exceptions, you’ll have a third and a fourth and a fifth.... The NCAA used to have a hardship waiver and then grandmothers around the basketball world suddenly fell deathly ill until the rule had to be amended to save their lives. This would be the same deal.
