Alabama refuses to let basketball player Daisha Simmons, who transferred to Seton Hall to be closer to her ill brother, play for Pirates - NY Daily News

Article says the NCAA will let her use her last year of eligibility in 2015-16.

There is a documented concern regarding her brother’s health, too. Simmons’ brother, Chaz, has End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). It’s the final stage of Chronic Kidney Disease, and requires dialysis or a kidney transplant in order to sustain life. He’s currently on a waiting list for a kidney. She takes him to dialysis now that she is home.

I fail to see what Bama gains by doing this. If the scholarship is "lost" this year because she transferred so late then refusing to let her play does nothing to help them get that scholarship "back" so what's the point. It looks petty and bad PR given her family's circumstances.

I can see Bammer's point of view on this. They are sending a message to any other of their players who might wake up one morning and decide they want to transfer.

Yeah, unless Saban wants to release a few "medically unsound" players. Then it's all good, right?

I peek in here to get away from the craziness in the football forum and everything I see is just more craziness in college sports. Everywhere. Screw it.

As for Doug Dickey and Alabama not letting a girl play basketball near her dying brother, I don't see it at all. Collegiate sports should always, always put the well being of a student athlete first when there is a bona fide medical hardship within the family. Screw the schools 'hardship with a scholarship'.

Almost everything I read, everything I hear, ...I'm beginning to not just not like whats happening in college sports, I'm on the verge of not caring at all about this product of their big business approach. Not care at all.

Time for me to go fishing and let big time college sports go it's own way. Screw this ****.

She has an extreme medical situation at home and she graduated and is in grad school there. I really don't see how they can hold her hostage when she has a degree in hand is not "bound" to be at Bama. She could've just as easily quit this year at the last minute after graduating and screwed them out of a scholarship due to timing.

Bill Battle, not Dickey.

wow Bama is looking pretty bad on this one,there is no reason to block her,all recruits should take this into account before going there

 

[bamawriter]

Bama has signed the release.

Don't know why they had to wait until they got destroyed for a few weeks, but at least they've done it.
