A live look at the NCAA waiver decision making process
Not sure who in the athletic department is responsible for submitting the waiver, but how has this not been their number one priority to the point that it would have been polished to a mirror shine weeks ago?
It’s smart to wait. Now they can ask what kind of language the Vermont kid used to get approved.
They know what they're doing
I think that he could practice in Ames with the team - but not make the trip. A coach told me once the rule of thumb is in order to travel you have to be eligible to play. That is why Solomon could travel with the team last year but Prentiss could not. I think the same rules apply to foreign trips.
That is true for actual games during the season but not the overseas trip. They can play on the trip as well.

I would think there's a ton of bonding type stuff that is valuable for a team, even if he can't play. He's still part of the team either way as he's playing against them everyday to each other better.
Yeah, the only real thing of note (outside of the waiver) in that article is that he initially received an offer from ISU out of high school.
I tried looking it up but it's kinda complicated especially for someone who just transferred in. Found a PowerPoint from NCAA that even had some case studies at the end. One seemed to show a transfer that would be eligible to travel for a foreign trip if he would be eligible the following spring but he could not participate in any "countable" athletic activities. They count a specific amount of practices so that might mean you could go on the trip and do the team building and travel but not participate in practice and games. Guess we'll see.
Looked around to try and find some teams that had sit outs that went overseas. I found KU's team from a couple years ago had Lawsons and moore sitting out and both KJ and Charlie Moore played in the games but Dedric didn't make the trip as part of a punishment.
I wonder if there is some kind of waiver to get sit out guys to be able to play? Seems like it would be readily granted. No reason to not let the guys play.
