Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 3174574, member: 15"] Shepard's parents have no idea why her waiver was granted. [I]To this day, Shepard’s parents have no idea why her appeal was successful. That same fall, for instance, Navy transfer Alohi Gilman was told he’d have to sit out a year before playing football for the Irish. “Nobody seems to really know what the deal is there,” Mark Shepard said. “When we looked at it, about 50 percent of the applications got approved and you have to go through multiple appeals to make it happen. She fully anticipated she would have to sit out for a year.”[/I] Jess thinks being honest was the key. [I]I think that was just (because) we filled out the waiver the proper way and we were honest in everything that we did,” she said. “We had heard it was kind of a 50/50 deal. We knew we had gone about it the right way. We were just honest in the questions that they had asked, so whatever the result was we were going to be good with it.”[/I] Honesty doesn't seem to be too high of a bar.
