I think @Sleegro and @InVOLuntary are making the point that if the two schools agree to support the player, the waiver is approved. The burden of case prep is on the new school and compliance will build the right case. Communication and cooperation upfront makes it happen.
I felt like I opened a can of worms and wanted to clarify. I think we've synthesized it.
The point was that there really doesn’t have to be given an extreme circumstance if both schools agree and work together.You didn’t open up the can of worms. It’s just crazy that all of a sudden posters think playing time is the same as extreme circumstances beyond the players control and can be used as the sole reason for transfer
It’s pretty clear Pruitt is for open transfers not sitting out. I can respect that opinion and am starting to lean more toward agreeing with him BUT for us to believe that all of our transfers met the criteria set forth by the current rules the ncaa is attempting(a poor attempt at that) to abide by is having blinders on.
From my seat Pruitt doesn’t agree with the current transfer rules and is willing to help ALL his players work around those rules. And Michigan is standing by the current rules and isn’t willing to fudge circumstances to help the players play immediately.
I never claimed that the lack of playing time could be used as the sole reason for granting eligibility. All I stated was that the opportunity for more playing time wasn't a disqualifier for immediate eligibility. As much as I despise the NCAA, if a player has little to no chance of seeing the field at a school despite putting in the effort and the school backs that up and supports the player finding a place where they can contribute, I think the NCAA will probably support the transfer and grant immediate eligibility. I believe that to be the case even if the other reasons for transfer are iffy.
It doesn’t have to be an “extreme reason”
Mitigating and extreme are two completely different things. You keep arguing this has to be some extreme reason and it doesn’t. I’m not going to argue with you about this all day lol, we can agree to disagree.Yes there does. That is clear. He is the wording
New NCAA transfer guidelines include a provision for undergraduate transfers which states that a player may not have to spend one year-in-residence before taking the field for their new team if "the transfer is due to documented mitigating circumstances that are outside the student-athlete’s control and directly impact the health, safety and well-being of the student-athlete."

Makes me feel better? It’s like saying that red and blue are the same color. I never said playing time was enough or could be used at all really.Ok the wording doesn’t matter you can change all my post to use the words mitigating circumstances if it makes you feel better
Playing time isn’t enough to count as mitigating circumstances and LA has said the same
Im glad that you have changed your narrative and started to make sense.
You started this argument based on semantics and now yer wording shouldn't matter? Hahahaha toby gonna toby.Ok the wording doesn’t matter you can change all my post to use the words mitigating circumstances if it makes you feel better
