Westbrook waiver denied for U-Conn

Aww, Geno’s disappointed. FTG.

Wait, isn't immediate eligibility sometimes granted upon transfer after an unexpected head coaching change? No?  (((ok, I just read elsewhere that a coaching change is not a criteria for immediate eligibility except for incoming freshman and Westbrook is not a freshman...asked and answered)))

Oh well, with Westbrook getting denied, no way will Prince be granted immediate eligibility at Oregon...unless Oregon has some special sauce or Prince has some compelling story folks on the outside don't know about.

OSU can appeal as well. And, prob will/did?!

Guess NCAA conspiracy must be anti UConn too?

I believe that the NCAA decided to get more hardnosed this year. I think you almost always have to appeal to get anything from them unless your ND. Westbrook really has no reason to appeal based on a coaching change, because she called for it and said she was going to transfer before it even happened. Geno has no reason to be very very disappointed. People in hell want ice water. Westbrook had a weak case for a waiver

Prince missed the entire season last year because of injury. If they do not give her one they are in essence making her go to school for 6 years to get 4 years of eligibility. That is totally going against the intent of the sit a year principle. What they are doing to Kat is also unfair. The whole point is to not allow a player to get more than 4 years' eligibility. Well if Kat just missed a couple of games she would be under the 4-year limit.

I would love to see a class-action suit filed against the NCAA. They are an organization who are not held accountable to anyone. Nothing like a lawsuit to make those sorts of people fold like a cheap chair. Look how quickly the gave in to the player's ability to profit off their image. They know that legally they are a paper tiger. A lawsuit would put them on the spot of having to justify their decisions. Someone is probably suing them already and that is why they are being so strict with waivers this season. It's an attempt to show uniformity to put up a smokescreen for all the inconsistencies they have exhibited over the past years. Appears to be a legal CYA move.

Can OSU appeal Tudors decision?

UConn fan's thesis is that since the NCAA president, Mark Emmert, used to work at UConn, he's biased AGAINST UConn.

Emmert was put in charge of a big campus improvement project. After Emmert left, major mismanagement of the billion-dollar construction project was discovered, only some of which occurred when Emmert was running it. UConn fan thinks that since he is really pissed at Emmert for mismanaging that job and getting a better job at LSU, Emmert must be equally pissed at UConn.

Every fan should have a theory for why the NCAA hates their particular school. If you can't come up with one, then a theory for why the NCAA loves your rival school is an adequate substitute.

Maybe Geno should have been very, very, very, VERY disappointed!
