Does anyone know the criteria for immediate eligibility vs making a kid wait?

I see where some kid from Kentucky to Washington was immediately eligible. It seems so arbitrary to me.

Of course not, we all know the NCAA is totally ethical and transparent...

I thought this thread was going to be about virginity.

I bet it comes down to bribes.

There is a flow chart actually.

I can't find it right now but from what I recall it looks something like:

NOTRE DAME/OSU/UM/KENTUCKY/DUKE/NORTH CAROLINA/ALABAMA >>>>>>>>YES

MICHIGAN STATE >>>>>>>>>>NO

I mean the NCA should have specific rules you can look at to say yes or no. But whatever. Fuck them. We’re getting to the FF anyway.

I have a love hate thing for college sports. Deep love of Alma mater keeps me tuning in, the bullshit annoys the fuck out of me.

It is actually pretty simple and not a nefarious as everyone thinks.

First the kid needs "documented mitigating circumstances that are outside the student-athlete's control and directly impact the health, safety and well-being of the student-athlete."

The NCAA will then consult the team he is transferring from and ask if they want to refute/fight the waiver. If they are cool with it, they will likely be granted eligibilty.

So 90% of the approved cases you see, the other school said "fuck it, let him play". Coach Cal is sending a message to recruits that he's not going to block you.

Re: Hauser

My guess is his reason is pretty weak and Marquette is not giving it their full blessing. From what I remember, ithr reason sounded like lockeroom dynamics. Not exactly a 'well-being' issue. From what I can tell from Rivals is they've gone through a couple rounds of appeals and/or more info gathering.
