Bohls: Options galore for Smart, Texas players

While I got ya, here are nine things and one crazy prediction: 1. Hoop hysteria? OK, Texas fans, it’s all right to be excited. Yes, I’m serious. Shaka Smart will have his best roster in his six s…

If Destiny Pitts isn’t a grad transfer, I’m sure there’s a waiver in for her as well.

The NCAA Board of Directors‘ statement when they delayed the vote on the One Time Transfer rule change made it clear that every waiver was going to be granted this year [in anticipation of the rule change being adopted in January 2021].

Here is the statement. It's not clear at all unless being "sensitive to student-athlete well-being" is a new thing for the waiver committee.

"The board agreed to lift the moratorium on transfer legislation for the 2020-21 legislative cycle but recommended to the Council that changes to the waiver process as suggested by the working group are not appropriate at this time. Board members recommended the waiver process be sensitive to student-athlete well-being, especially those impacted by COVID-19 in the interim period."

if I remember correctly, the Counsel Chair [Penn AD] made comments to news media that hinted very strongly that the outcome of the 2021 vote would be uniformity among all sports and that in the interim the NCAA personnel were being instructed to apply great leniency in granting waivers since the rule change was imminent and putting one last group in “time out” [my words] was not reasonable in light of the pending change.
 
Not gonna sweat this. Oregon will not win a championship this year simply because Mikesell is eligible. Just hoping there’s a basketball season and then I’m perfectly happy to have Geno play the hand he’s been dealt. The 10 young ladies that make up this year’s Husky team have an enormous upside.

As an Oregon fan, I have to say that this decision makes absolutely no sense to me. Last year, Sedona Prince had what was imo a real case to make and was told "no"; this time, as far as I can tell, there don't seem to be any "extenuating circumstances," yet the decision is the opposite. I'd love to hear the NCAA try to explain the difference--among countless other head-scratching examples. I suppose that the more guards one has the better, but I'm probably the only Oregon fan would would prefer that the deck remained a bit clearer so that the incoming freshmen (Pao Pao, Scherr) can have as much time on the court as possible without having to share time with M.

If Mikesell can get a waiver, Austin definitely deserves one. .

I just don’t see how he will be able to make a lot of these players happy with playing time this season.

With the truncated season coming up I don't see how anyone with any team will be happy with their PT this year.

If the NCAA approves all waivers this year in preparation for next year’s new rule that’s fine but let’s see what they do because they’ve done some really weird things in the past. It’ll be interesting to watch their decisions. If decisions go sideways for other waivers it might be Time for the presidents to finally step in and bring a court case against the NCAA. Last year’s decisions were absolutely ridiculous.

Good luck with that. I mean the NCAA isn't some separate body that unilaterally makes decisions. The people making the decisions are part of the member institutions, so you're essentially saying they are going to sue themselves?
 
I believe that they have stated that they would be very liberal in respect to transfers this year due to the impact the virus will most certainly have on the coming season.

Is this blatant discrimination? I have other words to use but I am trying to maintain some civility here. I guess I have two words to say: Evina Westbrook.

Yes, do athletes get waivers unless they're transferring to UConn? Is this totally ridiculous? Absolutely ridiculous? Or a total joke?

Evina Westbrook. How in the world...?

It was some time ago so I really can not give you a link. I do remember reading it. It was in context with a clearification on some other virus related issue. It would only make sense that they would lighten up somewhat on the standards they went by last season and the virus issue is a perfect excuse for doing so. The statement was basically geared to what they would not do in respect to granting blanket extensions for a shortened season, but the mitigated it with compensation in other areas.

I think a lot of people have rushed to assume that the NCAA will apply a weaker standard to waiver requests. While that may indeed be true, I don't believe any such official statement has been issued by anyone with the NCAA. If I somehow missed that news, I will stand corrected.
 
Yes you missed it. No they did not say that they would lower standards for waivers. But while it was not directly stated, it was strongly implied that the present situation would influence requests for waivers and recent rulings seem to validate that compared to last season they have lightened their standards.
